West Ham boss David Moyes hopes Kalvin Phillips can have a similar impact to Jesse Lingard at the club.
England midfielder Phillips has joined the Hammers on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season
Lingard scored nine goals in 16 league matches to help West Ham finish sixth after signing on loan from Manchester United in January 2021.
"This time a couple of years ago we got Jesse Lingard, he really helped us," said Moyes.
"I'm hoping Kalvin can have a similar impact as what Jesse had."
Defensive midfielder Phillips, 28, struggled for first-team football at City after signing for the club from Leeds United in a £45m deal in July 2022.
