Kalvin Phillips. Brilliant under Marcelo Bielsa in the Leeds shirt, a type of player former England coach, Gareth Southgate, called unique. Then came the move to Manchester City in 2022 for £45 million – and Phillips’ upward curve of form turned south. Now City are fed up, which opens the only right door.
Injuries and poor form have meant that the Englishman has never broken through to Pep Guardiola’s team (many would say Guaridola’s machine football has ruined the creative player). For two seasons in a row, Philips has been on loan. First at West Ham, last season at Ipswich. Both stays without much success.
