West Ham have confirmed the signing of Kalvin Phillips on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season.
The England international joined City from Leeds 18 months ago but struggled for minutes under Pep Guardiola as he started just six competitive matches during his time at the club.
Newcastle and Juventus had been linked with a move for Phillips but West Ham have pulled off a coup to secure his services for the remainder of the campaign.
"West Ham United is delighted to confirm the signing of England midfielder Kalvin Phillips on loan until the end of the 2023/24 season," a statement read on the club's official website.
"The 28-year-old joins the Hammers from Manchester City and could make his debut in Thursday’s Premier League fixture with AFC Bournemouth at London Stadium."
🗣️ "West Ham looks like a good fit for Phillips. David Moyes values players with Premier League experience and Phillips will duly require little adaptation "

On his move to West Ham, Phillips said: "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.
"There’s so much to look forward to in the second half of the season for the Club and I can’t wait to be part of it.
"There’s an unbelievable group here and if I can come in and add the quality that I know I’m capable of, I’m sure we can give the West Ham fans plenty to be excited about between now and the end of the season."
