Fulham is reportedly interested in signing Kalvin Phillips, who is currently on loan at West Ham United from Manchester City. The 28-year-old midfielder has made limited appearances for Manchester City since joining in 2022, and Fulham sees him as a potential target for the upcoming summer transfer window. Phillips has also been linked with a return to Leeds United, his boyhood club, if they secure promotion to the Premier League.

Despite his lack of playing time at Manchester City, Phillips has attracted interest from Fulham due to his experience and potential to strengthen their squad. The midfielder’s future at Manchester City seems uncertain, with reports suggesting that the club is willing to sell him this summer. Fulham is working on a potential deal for Phillips, who is expected to miss out on a place in the England squad for the upcoming European Championship.

Marco Silva, Fulham’s manager, views Phillips as a key transfer target as the club prepares for the potential departure of Joao Palhinha. The midfielder’s successful spell at Leeds United and his recent loan at West Ham United have raised interest from multiple clubs, including Fulham and Leeds. Phillips’ performances and experience in winning major trophies with Manchester City make him an attractive prospect for clubs looking to strengthen their midfield options.
