Kalvin Phillips struggled during his time at Manchester City, only starting four out of 21 games in his debut season. He was then loaned out to West Ham United where he continued to face challenges, both on and off the pitch, starting only three out of eight Premier League games. Former West Ham coach Kevin Nolan shed light on Phillips’ difficulties during his loan spell, expressing hope for Phillips to find a new club where he can regain his form and confidence.

Nolan emphasized the importance of support for Phillips and suggested that a move to Everton, with Sean Dyche, could be beneficial for the midfielder. Phillips received a poor season rating and struggled with confidence, according to West Ham striker Michail Antonio. Nolan’s insights into Phillips’ off-field challenges further highlight the struggles he faced during his time at West Ham. Ultimately, finding a club where he can play regularly and build his confidence is crucial for Phillips’ career progression.

With Nolan’s support and recommendations for a potential move to Everton, there is hope that Phillips can overcome his challenges and return to his previous form. The focus is on finding the right environment where Phillips can thrive and regain his place in the England squad. Moving forward, Phillips’ goal will be to showcase his abilities and prove himself at a new club, ultimately aiming to reach the level he was at a few years ago.
