Kalvin Phillips, a Manchester City midfielder, is considering his future amidst interests from Newcastle and Everton. Since his move to City from Leeds United in July 2022 for £42 million, Phillips has faced injuries and tough competition, resulting in limited appearances.
He had an impressive stint at Leeds, gaining a reputation as a top defensive midfielder. Rumors suggest that Pep Guardiola might consider a loan or sale to aid Phillips’ career.
Tottenham, Everton, and Newcastle are eyeing his potential acquisition.
Fabrizio Romano provided an update, stating that no formal discussions have occurred regarding Phillips’ future. If his playing time doesn’t increase, the 27-year-old may contemplate leaving Etihad. However, concrete talks are yet to happen. Newcastle is cautious about transfer decisions, assessing their Champions League group performance.
Eddie Howe, their potential new manager, is keen on adding competition, making Phillips a target. Everton, under Sean Dyche’s management, seeks a new midfielder,
with Phillips being a likely choice due to Idrissa Gana Gueye’s potential absence during the Africa Cup of Nations. Everton may consider a temporary acquisition due to various key players’ international commitments.
