West Ham in Advanced Talks for Kalvin Phillips Loan from Manchester City

West Ham is reportedly in advanced talks to secure a loan deal for England international Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City, according to the Daily Mail. Initially, Newcastle was a potential destination for Phillips but Juventus has now emerged as a contender. Newcastle was deterred by City’s terms including a reported £6 million loan fee.

West Ham is open to a permanent deal for Phillips at the end of the season but the midfielder’s significant wages at Manchester City could pose challenges. While the finer details are yet to be finalized, West Ham is optimistic about completing the transfer early this week. Phillips is reportedly willing to join West Ham this month.
