Fulham add Man City’s Kalvin Phillips to summer shortlist

April 6, 2024Ligue 1

Fulham are reportedly preparing for a busy summer transfer window.

The Cottagers, according to Football Transfers, have identified three key targets to help reinforce their squad ahead of next season.

Despite enduring a torrid loan spell with West Ham United, Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips has emerged as an option for Marco Silva, with the Fulham boss keen to offer the 28-year-old an escape from his Hammers nightmare.

Reportedly deciding against signing the defensive midfielder permanently, David Moyes, according to Football Insider, will send the England international back to the Etihad at the end of the season.

Kalvin Phillips is unlikely to join West Ham permanently.

However, with Pep Guardiola unlikely to change his mind and reintegrate the struggling midfielder, the summer window will almost certainly see the former Leeds ace move on.

And Fulham could be the perfect place to make a fresh start. Building a squad capable of competing for a European spot, Silva, whose side currently sits 13th in the table, will be eager to close the gap on the league’s top seven next season and beyond.
