Kalvin Phillips is poised to depart Manchester City in January, and West Ham is one of the favorites to sign him, according to Sussex Express.
The Hammers and Everton are the front-runners to sign him when the transfer window reopens in January, and he is now expected to go on loan.
It seems improbable that Man City would be willing to let him go without someone picking up all or most of his salary.
The way this issue plays out in the upcoming months will be intriguing to watch, but it would be a surprise if Phillips missed the opportunity to transfer to the London Stadium considering Hammers form this season.
