West Ham United‘s loan signing of Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City proved to be a difficult one for both player and club, according to former first-team coach Kevin Nolan.
“We put him in right away because we thought, ‘Get him in there and just let him play and get going,'” the ex-Irons captain told talkSPORT. “It just didn’t work out.
The England international struggled to find his feet in the Premier League after a lack of game time at the Etihad Stadium, making just four appearances for the Hammers.
Phillips’ time at West Ham was marred by errors, including a red card and a succession of poor performances, leading to questions about his fitness and form.
Despite the challenges, Nolan praised Phillips’ character and work ethic, highlighting the difficulties faced by the midfielder after a prolonged period out of the team.
The loan move ultimately failed to reignite Phillips’ career, with the player returning to Manchester City at the end of the season
Why is everybody surprised ?
