Kalvin Phillips may find a Premier League transfer lifeline following his troubled loan spell at West Ham. The Manchester City midfielder joined the Hammers in January but endured a difficult six months, making individual mistakes and even getting sent off. Phillips, 28, made only ten appearances and did not feature in West Ham’s final three Premier League games.

The ex-England international now faces an uncertain future as he returns to City, having fallen out with manager Pep Guardiola. Guardiola had publicly criticized Phillips for returning from the 2022 World Cup “overweight,” a comment that significantly impacted Phillips’ confidence. Despite this, Sky Sports reports that Everton is interested in signing Phillips, potentially on another loan.

A permanent move appears challenging for City, and a return to Leeds is unlikely after their play-off final loss to Southampton. Guardiola later apologized for his comments, acknowledging they were a mistake, and expressed regret for the public criticism. As Phillips navigates his next steps, Everton’s interest may offer him a chance to revive his Premier League career.
