Here we go! Fabrizio Romano confirms agreement between Man City and West Ham for midfielder loan
Big news breaking this afternoon...
Manchester City and West Ham United have agreed a deal for Kalvin Phillips to move to the London Stadium from the Etihad Stadium on loan, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Posting an update on X this afternoon, Romano made it clear that this deal is now all but done, with Phillips agreeing the move and set for a medical with the Hammers tomorrow.
Phillips has struggled for playing time at Man City so it makes sense that he’s now moving away from the club on loan, and West Ham will surely be able to give him plenty of playing time, with David Moyes still in need of strengthening in midfield after the blow of losing Declan Rice to Arsenal in the summer.
The loan includes a permanent buy option for Phillips for the summer, and it certainly seems hard to imagine the England international returning to play any kind of part in Pep Guardiola’s squad.
