Robbie Fowler suggests that Kalvin Phillips owes an apology for his post-match actions following West Ham United’s defeat to Newcastle United. Phillips, who has experienced a challenging loan spell at the London Stadium since January, faced backlash after conceding a penalty in the 4-3 loss against Newcastle.

In a recent column for the Sunday Mirror, Fowler raised concerns about Phillips’ reaction towards the Hammers fans but also noted the pressure and frustration the player must be feeling due to his unsuccessful loan move from Leeds to Manchester City. Despite acknowledging Phillips’ human response to criticism, Fowler emphasized the importance of professionalism and called for an apology from the England international.

With speculations about a potential permanent signing for Phillips at West Ham United circulating, the hefty price tag associated with his previous transfer to Manchester City might pose a financial hurdle for the East London club. While Phillips has demonstrated positive passing and defensive capabilities on the field, the cost of acquiring him permanently could outweigh the potential benefits for West Ham United.

Considering the financial implications involved, an affordable agreement to secure Phillips on a permanent basis could be a strategic move for West Ham. However, without a reasonable fee arrangement, the risks of acquiring Phillips may outweigh the potential rewards for the club.
