EPL: Man City’s Kalvin Phillips Decides On Future Club
28-year-old English professional footballer, Kalvin Phillips, is set for a new experience outside Manchester City.
Reports emerging this week revealed that Kalvin Phillips has made a decision regarding his future, as he is reportedly on his way to sign for West Ham United.
Despite attracting interest from other clubs, Phillips, who is highly sought after in the market this month, has chosen to join West Ham, Sportxparte learnt.
The English player is eager to secure regular playing time and is keen for the transfer to be finalized swiftly, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky.
Plettenberg, through his X handle, asserted that Phillips is now resolute in his belief that West Ham is the right team for him and is eager to sign with them as soon as possible.
Negotiations are said to be progressing well, with a verbal agreement on the horizon, and West Ham is hopeful of completing the transfer.
It could be recalled that Phillips was signed by Man City for £42 million from Leeds United, but he has struggled to make a significant impact under Pep Guardiola.
The English international has mostly found himself on the bench at the Etihad Stadium. Recognizing that his chances of securing a place in the team for Euro 2024 are slim at Man City, the player understands that he must leave the club in order to gain more playing time.
Tottenham and Newcastle are rumored to have looked at signing Phillips, and City have been asking for a price from teams ready to take him on.
But it appears that West Ham and David Moyes have emerged victorious in this competition, and Phillips will be looking to fill the gap that currently West Ham are suffering with injuries.
Fans of West Ham should be thrilled with what will be a big addition to the team if this one is completed this week.
