Kalvin Phillips is aiming to wipe the slate clean after a string of unfortunate events and start anew with West Ham United in the upcoming weeks. The ex-Leeds United midfielder was eager to make a positive impression after joining the east London club on loan from Manchester City in January.
However, things haven’t gone according to plan as he struggled in his first four Premier League games, making crucial mistakes that led to goals and receiving a red card. Phillips is determined to put this rough start behind him once his suspension is over.
“I hope that I’ve had my share of bad luck and can move forward from here,” he said. “I wanted a fresh start and to really give it my all. It hasn’t gone as expected, but I believe that focusing on the basics and working hard will turn things around.”
Phillips made the move to West Ham to gain the playing time necessary to revive his career and secure his place in the England squad. “Training with a top team is one thing, but nothing beats game experience,” he explained. “That’s why I’m frustrated and disappointed, but I’m determined to turn things around.”
