West Ham United have signed Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips on loan until the end of the season, the Premier League club announced on Friday.
The terms of the transfer were not published by either club, although British media stated that there is no option to buy clause for the 28-year-old, who has four years left on his contract with City.
“I’m really pleased to be here. There’s always been a lot of speculation about me moving to West Ham, so I’m really excited to get going now,” Kalvin Phillips said.
The England international joined City from Leeds United in the 2022 close-season for around 45 million pounds ($57.20 million) but was sidelined due to a shoulder injury.
Kalvin Phillips fell down the pecking order after being criticized by manager Pep Guardiola for returning overweight from the World Cup, making only four league appearances as a substitute this season.
The defensive midfielder is vying for a spot in the final England squad for the Euros in five months, and regular playing time at West Ham could help him stay on manager Gareth Southgate’s radar.
