West Ham coaches have expressed astonishment at the lackluster performances of Kalvin Phillips, currently on loan from Manchester City.
They've observed a notable decline in his commitment and enthusiasm towards Premier League football. Phillips joined West Ham in January after a disappointing stint at Manchester City, where he struggled to make an impact following his £45m transfer from Leeds in 2022.
During his time at Manchester City, the midfielder made only 31 appearances, leading to his exclusion from the England squad due to insufficient playing time and below-par performances.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola even raised concerns about Phillips' fitness, noting his weight issues on two occasions.
Seeking a fresh start, Phillips turned to David Moyes' team at the start of the year. However, his fortunes haven't improved.
He's started just three games since joining West Ham and was substituted at halftime in the recent match against Burnley.
The low point came in the 4-3 defeat to Newcastle, where he was brought on to stabilize the team's performance when West Ham led 3-1 with 20 minutes remaining.
Sources within West Ham suggest that Phillips may no longer be motivated to play in the Premier League. The coaching staff is surprised by his lack of commitment during training sessions and behind-the-scenes.
Reports indicate that not only has Phillips underperformed in matches, but he's also been highly disappointing in training since his arrival from Manchester City in January. Indeed, his poor showing has left the West Ham coaches shocked.
