According to a report from The Mirror, Newcastle United and Everton are keen to sign Kalvin Phillips into their ranks.
The 27-year-old hasn’t had the best of times since joining Manchester City and could seek a move else where in the winter transfer window to keep himself in contention for the England squad for Euro 2024.
Phillips rose through the ranks at Leeds United, reaching the first team in the summer of 2015.

He has put in some impressive performances for Leeds in the English top flight and his achievements have not gone unnoticed.
The Manchester City midfielder was rewarded with a call-up to the national team and has been a regular member of the club’s squad in recent years.
In the summer of 2022, Pep Guardiola’s team managed with all their might to acquire the services of Phillips for £45 million.
The 27-year-old was expected to take the next step in his career under the Spanish coach.
However, things did not go according to plan.
He has rarely featured for the three-time winners in the last eighteen months. He has made 26 first-team appearances so far, most of them from the bench.
Last season he played 21 times, but spent less than 600 minutes on the pitch.

According to a report from The Mirror, Newcastle United and Everton are keen to sign Kalvin Phillips into their ranks.
The 27-year-old hasn’t had the best of times since joining Manchester City and could seek a move elsewhere in the winter transfer window to keep himself in contention for the England squad for Euro 2024.
Phillips rose through the ranks at Leeds United, reaching the first team in the summer of 2015.

The 27-year-old has gone from strength to strength after helping Leeds to promotion.
He has put in impressive spells for Leeds in the English top flight and his performances have not gone unnoticed.
The Manchester City midfielder was rewarded with a call-up to the national team and has been a regular part of the team in recent years.
In the summer of 2022, Pep Guardiola’s side pulled out all the stops to acquire Phillips’ services for £45 million.
It was expected that the 27-year-old would take the next step in his career under the Spanish coach.
However, things did not go according to plan.
Over the past eighteen months he has rarely appeared for the three-time winners. He has made 26 first-team appearances so far, most of them from the bench.
Last season he played 21 times, but spent less than 600 minutes on the pitch.

He played five games and was on the field less than 200 minutes.
He has made just two appearances in the English top flight in the last 18 months.
Even though things didn’t go his way, he was expected to step up during Rodri’s recent three-match ban. However, Guardiola deployed full-back Rico Lewis in the center of the park.
Phillips, therefore, does not seem to be part of the Spanish coach’s plans. Lack of playing time is a major concern for him as he doesn’t want to miss Euro 2024.
While Gareth Southgate has maintained his faith in the 27-year-old, things could change if he doesn’t get enough football this season.
As a result, he could make a move during the winter transfer window.
And there are several top clubs keeping an eye on his situation at Manchester.
Newcastle United and Everton have been linked with the former Leeds midfielder.
The Magpies would like to add another world-class midfielder to the mix.
His arrival gives them more depth and will most likely be available at a lower price.
Meanwhile, Everton haven’t been at their best for a while.
They don’t have a lot of quality in their ranks and Phillips would certainly provide them with a lot of stability.
However, it will not be easy to bring him to the club as Newcastle are interested in his services.
