West Ham United’s manager, David Moyes, recently commented on Kalvin Phillips’ performance since joining the team in January. Phillips, a 28-year-old midfielder, chose to join West Ham on loan for the remainder of the season despite interest from other Premier League clubs like Newcastle United and Fulham.
Phillips had struggled to secure a spot in Manchester City’s squad, leading to his decision to move to London. Despite winning three major trophies with City, he made limited appearances under manager Pep Guardiola. Phillips made his Premier League debut against Chelsea before transferring to West Ham, where he has since made five appearances and participated in the UEFA Europa League.
While some initially criticized Phillips’ performance at West Ham, Moyes has noted his improvement and growing confidence. The manager believes that with more game time, Phillips will continue to develop and reach his previous levels of success.
Phillips’ future at West Ham remains uncertain as his loan deal does not include an obligation for a permanent transfer. Manchester City’s potential interest in West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta could open up the opportunity for Phillips to be part of a deal between the two clubs.
Overall, Moyes is optimistic about Phillips’ progress and hopes to see him continue to excel at West Ham. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Phillips adapts to his new team and if a permanent transfer will be on the horizon.
