'Not ideal' - West Ham man has 'no idea' whether he will stay this summer

West Ham are back in Premier League action this weekend with an away trip to Wolves. They will be looking to build on their 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur last time out. 

The Hammers are currently sat in 7th in the league table. Here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours coming out of the club…

Midfielder on future

West Ham let Flynn Downes head out on loan last summer when Southampton came calling. The midfielder, who has played for Ipswich Town and Swansea City in the past, is currently looking to help the Saints gain promotion from the Championship under Russell Martin. 

He is due to return to the London Stadium when his temporary deal at St Mary’s ends and David Moyes will have a decision to make regarding his future. Downes has provided the latest on his situation, as per the Daily Echo: "Not really no (asked if he has been spoken to by Southampton or West Ham). I am focusing on the games here. I haven’t had any contact with anyone about what is going to happen next year.

"It’s not ideal because I have no idea if I am moving back or staying here. I’m just going to focus on these eight games and see what happens.

"I love playing here. I’ve absolutely loved my time here. If it ends up coming to an end then it is what is it. If I go back to West Ham then that is what it is."

Midfielder latest 

West Ham landed Kalvin Phillips on loan from Manchester City back in January. The ex-Leeds United man was brought in to bolster their midfield options. 

However, the England international has struggled to make an impact and hasn’t been able to find form. In this latest update by Football Insider, his parent club are ‘ready’ to cash in on him permanently and are willing to lose money on him.
