Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips could stay in the Premier League this season with three clubs interested
Ipswich, Everton, and Fulham are all interested in the 28-year-old for this season as they finalise their squads. Manchester City were looking for a permanent sale for the midfielder given he is not part of Pep Guardiola's plans but would be willing to accept another loan move following his spell at West Ham earlier this year.
Phillips is keen for a fresh start after an inexplicably bad two years following a £45m move to City. The former Leeds star never settled at the Etihad and was hurt by Guardiola's public criticism of him for returning for training overweight following the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.READ MORE: Jack Grealish suffers Man City injury setback as Pep Guardiola waits
Despite turning down offers from elsewhere at the beginning of last season to prove himself under Guardiola, Phillips failed to convince that he could play regularly in the side and went to West Ham on loan in January in a spell that didn't go as anyone wanted. Nevertheless, he was still cited by Gareth Southgate during the European Championship this summer as a key element of the England team and has impressed in pre-season as a centre-back for City.
Everton have been interested for most of the transfer window, and Fulham and Ipswich also have Phillips under consideration. Even if none of the three strike a permanent deal this summer, a loan could be agreed with City.
