West Ham have no obligation or option to buy Kalvin Phillips at the end of this season nor do they plan to make the deal permanent this summer.
The loan deal meant West Ham covered his full wages until the end of June worth around £3m but the loan fee was largely performance and appearance related meaning around £1m will added to the total fee. The £4m total is less than the £7m widely reported at the time of the loan

West Ham join the race to sign in-demand 21-goal attacker this summer
What time United are reportedly keen on signing the Greek striker Fortis Ioannidis.
According to reports via Calciomercato, the Hammers are keeping tabs on the Panathinaikos striker who has scored 21 goals in all competitions this season. Ioannidis has picked up seven assists as well.
It will be interesting to see if the Hammers can secure an agreement with the Greek outfit for the 24-year-old striker.
It is no secret that they need to improve their attacking unit this summer. They are missing a reliable goalscorer right now and Ioannidis could prove to be a quality addition.
Michail Antonio is well past his peak and he will need to be replaced by a younger striker with higher potential. As far as Danny Ings is concerned, his availability remains a concern. He has had his fair share of injury problems in recent years. Despite being a quality goalscorer, he has not been able to play regularly.
West Ham will need to bring in an upgrade the summer. The Hammers are currently competing in the Europa league and they need better players if they want to play European football every year. Signing a striker should be their top priority heading into the summer transfer window.
Ioannidis could fancy West Ham move
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be an exciting one for Ioannidis as well. It would be a major step up in his career and he would get to showcase his abilities against top class defenders in English football.
The Hammers managed to win the UEFA Europa Conference League last year and they will be an attractive destination for the player. It will be interesting to see if the Hammers can beat the competition for his services and get the deal done. The striker is valued at €15 million and clubs like Bologna, Stuttgart, Sporting CP, Sevilla, Frankfurt, and Celtic are all keeping tabs on him.

Thilo Kehrer: ‘When you see West Ham today, it is no longer the same club.’
In an exclusive interview with Get French Football News, Thilo Kehrer (27), currently on loan at AS Monaco from West Ham United, reflected on his time with the Hammers, and specifically the club’s UEFA Europa Conference League success.
How would you evaluate your time at West Ham?
I had a good time at West Ham, even if it was just one-and-a-half years, I really enjoyed the people, the club, the mentality, the supporters, my teammates and everyone with whom I worked. It was a particular atmosphere with lots of professionalism and an appreciation for football and for the competition that is incomparable with other countries. People’s perceptions of players are different than in other countries, it is really something that I like in England. We had difficult periods, but in the Europa Conference League, we won a big title and wrote history for the club, after so many years without a title and so many years that the club was so far away from even thinking about a title. When you see West Ham today, it is no longer the same club, or it is but it is seen in a completely different light. There is pride in having helped create that with my teammates and the staff.
Having featured so frequently in the lead-up to the final, was it a disappointment not to start?
Having played in the matches leading up to the final, there was a big disappointment in not starting in the final of the Conference League. The more the game approached, the more I managed to change my emotion from frustration and disappointment into something positive and competitive – to want to win with the team and help the team to do it as soon as they counted on me. It was slightly bizarre, even before the match, I had this feeling and the assistant manager told me that I had to be ready to come off the bench because it was possible that the team would need me.
But even before that, I had this feeling that I’d have some playing time in the final. When it happened, there was 25/30 minutes left. The final was decided in that time. It was an important phase of the match and I managed to transform my emotions into something positive and put myself at the service of the team. Even if there was disappointment before the match, the joy by the end was even bigger.
Would you say that it is the crowning moment of your career so far?
It is difficult to choose one moment; there have been so many special moments and very positive ones with lots of emotions, but it is definitely in the top three.
