West Ham United agreed loan fee for Kalvin Phillips after beating Newcastle United, Tottenham and Crystal Palace to deal
West Ham United agreed a £3million loan fee with Man City to take Kalvin Phillips for the second half of the season, sources have told Football Insider.
The Citizens initially asked for £6million from clubs to take the England international in January but struggled to find suitors willing to pay that sum for a six-month spell.
It is believed that the Hammers negotiated a price £3m below that, and £4.5m less than what City wanted last summer.
West Ham are also paying the midfielder’s full salary during his time at the London Stadium – a reported £140,000-a-week.
He was handed his debut in his first start for his new club – the Hammers’ 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on 1 February.
The 28-year-old was dropped to the bench for their next Premier League game where they lost 3-0 to Man United at home, but made an appearance from the bench.
West Ham slipped to seventh in the Premier League table after their 3-0 defeat to Man United on Sunday (4 February).
They are next in action against title contenders Arsenal at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon (11 February).
