The out-of-favor player from Manchester City, who has seen only 89 minutes of action in the Premier League this season, recently made a loan move to West Ham United. Manager David Moyes is optimistic about Phillips rediscovering his previous form and contributing to the club for the rest of the 2023/24 season.

In discussions with reporters, Moyes expressed his admiration for Phillips’ track record, citing his consistent presence in the England national team over the years. Despite his stint at City not meeting expectations, Moyes believes Phillips possesses the qualities to excel at West Ham. Drawing parallels to Jesse Lingard’s impactful loan spell at the club a couple of years ago, Moyes hopes Phillips can replicate a similar influence. He emphasized that both players arrive with a determination to prove themselves, especially with significant competition looming at the season’s end.

Moyes commended Phillips’ character, echoing positive remarks made by Pep Guardiola and emphasizing the focus on his footballing abilities. With the addition of another England international to the squad, Moyes views it as a substantial asset.

Lingard, who previously joined West Ham on loan from Manchester United in the latter half of the 2020/21 season, enjoyed a successful stint, contributing significantly to the team’s sixth-place finish in the league. Currently unattached, Lingard’s impact remains noteworthy as Moyes seeks similar contributions from Phillips.

West Ham, having faced a winless streak in their last four outings across all competitions, gears up for their upcoming Premier League clash against Bournemouth on Thursday.
