As the January transfer window deadline approaches, West Ham is looking to make some moves to boost their squad. Currently sitting at sixth place in the Premier League table, the team is aiming for improvements in the second half of the 2023/24 campaign. They are considering signing new players and offloading some underperforming players.
One player they are eyeing is Kalvin Phillips, an England international currently out of favor at Manchester City. There are strong indications that West Ham is keen on bringing him to East London, and negotiations with Man City are ongoing.
For Phillips, playing regularly is crucial if he wants to secure a spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the European Championship. With time running out in the transfer window, he needs to act quickly to make an impact on the pitch. TalkSPORT presenters Ally McCoist and Andy Townsend believe that a move to West Ham would be the right step for Phillips. McCoist stated that “It makes sense. I think it’d be a great move.” Townsend expressed his surprise at the clear indication from a manager that a player is not in their plans.
The intricacies of loan deals mean that negotiations can be complex and time-consuming. However, it is crucial for Phillips to make a move soon to get regular playing time. Whether all parties can come to an agreement that satisfies everyone involved remains to be seen.
As the transfer deadline nears, the possibility of Kalvin Phillips joining West Ham is gaining momentum. The coming days will reveal whether this deal, and potentially others, are successfully completed.
