West Ham will finish in the top six if they complete the signing of Kalvin Phillips, according to Darren Bent.

Manchester City and West Ham have agreed a deal for Phillips to join the Hammers on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Phillips, who has only played 89 minutes so far this season, will undergo a medical with David Moyes’ side on Thursday.

And Bent believes West Ham can set their sites on a European finish if the Phillips deal gets completed.

Speaking on talkSPORT Drive, he said: “Kalvin Phillips and Emile Smith Rowe, they would be two unbelievable signings for West Ham.

“All of a sudden, if you’re a West Ham fan, you’re excited now because of the players you have, then you bring in them two as well, you’re almost like: ‘Oh my goodness, what can we do with this squad?'”

Asked by Andy Goldstein where West Ham could finish with Phillips in their side, Bent said: “Definitely top six. Minimum top six. I think they should be aiming for top six anyway because I think they’re a good side, but if you add them two in, top six then becomes the minimum.”
