In the high-stakes transfer battle for Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano is keeping a close watch, singling out West Ham as a club making relentless efforts to secure the midfield ace.

Romano reveals that West Ham has engaged in talks with Phillips and maintains constant communication with his current club. The 28-year-old England international has accumulated 31 appearances for Manchester City, with 10 in the current season.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Romano emphasizes the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Phillips’s future, stating, “I still think that England is the most likely solution for Phillips, but nothing is done yet.” He underscores the open nature of the race, positioning Phillips as one of the prominent names in the market. Romano pledges to keep a vigilant eye, especially on West Ham, noting their relentless daily efforts and continuous communication with Manchester City and the player.

While Phillips’s departure from Manchester City seems likely this month, key details remain unknown, including his destination, with clubs actively vying for his services. The nature of the transfer, whether temporary or permanent, adds another layer of intrigue.

Despite Phillips’s recent struggles to replicate the stellar form that earned him a move to Manchester City, there’s consensus that he can significantly enhance the midfield of several clubs. His impressive performances at Leeds United caught the eye of Pep Guardiola, but the manager’s limited utilization of the midfielder at the Etihad has sparked speculation about his future with the club. The unfolding transfer saga promises more twists as Phillips’s next chapter in football takes shape.
