Relief for Gareth Southgate! England midfielder Kalvin Phillips set to join West Ham on loan as Newcastle miss out on Man City flop

As per the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-club-set-win-31927952" target="_blank">Daily Mirror</a>, Phillips appears to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kalvin-phillips-west-ham-man-city-loan/blt173359951bc4cdfc" target="_blank">on his way to the capital and joining the Hammers</a> in search of more minutes, having made just four appearances in the league all season. The England midfielder has struggled for form and game-time in Manchester since his £42 million ($53m) switch from boyhood side Leeds.

WHAT HAPPENED?

A move to West Ham represents the chance to recapture the form that propelled Phillips to starting for England in a European Championship final. Despite his lack of game-time at City, he has remained a consistent selection by Gareth Southgate in the England team - a decision that<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/england-boss-southgate-gives-verdict-on-leeds-star-kalvin-phillips-as-he-weighs-up-european-championship-picks/12cke9sxo1hhe1pfhk5p1gh41q" target="_blank"> had been becoming difficult to justify</a>. However, should Phillips start playing regular Premier League football again it can be expected he would be on the plane to Germany in the summer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Kalvin Phillips has 31 caps for England so far, scoring one goal. With Southgate still undecided on his third midfielder to partner Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham, Phillips has a chance to earn even more.

DID YOU KNOW?

Phillips is expected to join West Ham and will hope to be available for a home debut against Bournemouth on February 1. In terms of his England prospects, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ajax-justify-jordan-henderson-england-selection-gareth-southgate-euro-2024-squad/bltff936e6ee8545541" target="_blank">the midfielder will have monitored Jordan Henderson's recent move to Ajax with great interest</a>.

WHAT NEXT FOR PHILLIPS?
