The best of Kalvin Phillips for Manchester City and Leeds United in the Premier League
Phillips has made just 31 appearances for City since a £45m transfer from Leeds in July 2022 and Pep Guardiola admitted in December he cannot envisage the England midfielder in his team.
The 28-year-old joined West Ham on loan in January but the move did not work out.
Phillips’ unhappy loan stint hit a low after he was caught on camera giving the middle finger to fans following the 4-3 defeat at Newcastle, where he gave away a penalty.
Phillips’ woe at West Ham
- 26 January – Phillips signs on loan for West Ham from Manchester City
- 31 January – Phillips makes big error three minutes into his debut which led to a Dominic Solanke goal
- 17 February – Handed his next start away at Nottingham Forest but sent off for two yellow cards. West Ham lose 2-0
- 15 March – Phillips is left out of the latest England squad by Gareth Southgate citing a lack of form as the reason
- 30 March – Gives away penalty vs Newcastle which leads to West Ham squandering a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3
Despite being one of the stars for England during Euro 2020, Phillips has lost his place in Gareth Southgate’s squad and was not included in the preliminary 33-man party for Euro 2024.
Everton also remain in talks with Leeds over another loan deal for winger Jack Harrison.
