Leeds and Newcastle target Kalvin Phillips ready to leave Manchester City

90min have reported that Phillips is prepared to leave defending Premier League champions Manchester City at the end of the season despite joining them from Leeds in the summer of 2022 for £42 million.

The report has claimed that Newcastle, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City are interested in signing the 27-year-old England international.

The Daily Star have reported that Leeds want to bring back Phillips.

90min have claimed that City will sell or send Phillips out on loan, and that the £160,000-a-week (SalarySport) star himself is open to an exit.

HITC Verdict: Encouraging for Leeds and Newcastle

In our view, that Kalvin Phillips is reportedly open to leaving Manchester City is very encouraging for Leeds United and Newcastle United.

It means that Leeds or Newcastle do have a chance of signing him.

The midfielder is not having the best of seasons at City at the moment and is not getting playing time.

We can understand why Phillips would want to leave Pep Guardiola’s side.

The England international has made five substitute appearances in the Premier League and three substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for City so far this season.
