Jude Bellingham and Jack Grealish lead a star line-up of messages to West Ham new boy Kalvin Phillips following his loan move.
The great and the good have turned out in force to wish Kalvin Phillips well after his move to West Ham.
The Hammers have officially confirmed the signing of England midfielder Phillips on loan from Man City.
West Ham boss David Moyes has chased Phillips for two years, dating back to his time at Leeds.
Moyes wanted to recreate the England central midfield partnership of Phillips and Declan Rice at West Ham.
He didn’t quite manage that. But former West Ham captain Rice has nonetheless been one of the first to wish Phillips well at the London Stadium.
And he has been joined by hundreds of millions of pounds worth of talent doing the same.

Jude Bellingham and Jack Grealish lead a star line-up of West Ham messages to Phillips.
West Ham’s new number 11 posted a series of pictures from his signing and first day in east London, expressing his excitement at the move.
And a host of stars have been responding.
Real Madrid superstar Bellingham responded saying: “Let’s go brother,” with a heart emoji.
Phillips’ now former Man City teammate added: “What a boy! Gonna miss you. Good luck brother,” with crying and heart emojis.
Phil Foden told the new Hammers star: “All the best mate!” Meanwhile another ex Manchester City teammate Kyle Walker sent a love heart.
Former West Ham skipper told Phillips: “Smash it brother! Buzzing for you,” with a heart emoji.
Ex Hammers striker Ian Wright sent applause and a heart emoji. His son Shaun Wright-Phillips added: “Congratulations, go shine again my guy.”
Celebrity West Ham fan Mark Wright added: “What a signing!! Buzzing,” with a fire emoji.
Reported West Ham striker target Dominic Solanke told Phillips: “All the best bro!”
One comment that might catch the eye of West Ham fans was from Sheffield United striker Ollie McBurnie – who was involved in that controversial moment against the Hammers last week – who said: “Congrats mate,” with heart and fist bump emojis.
Phillips has revealed what Moyes told him about joining West Ham and the role Rice played in his decision too.
