Everton are keeping tabs on Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips ahead of the 7pm transfer deadline on Monday
Everton are ‘keeping a close eye’ on developments around Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips, it has been reported.
The former England international has had a nightmare at the Etihad Stadium, following a £42.5m move from Leeds back in 2022. The 30-year-old joined City after spending all his career to date with his hometown club of Leeds. He had a loan spell at West Ham in the second half of the 2023-24 campaign and then spent last season on loan at Ipswich Town.
Phillips is said to have “no hope” of playing in the first team under Pep Guardiola.
He has made one appearance this season, which came as a late substitute in a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town in the third round of the Carabao Cup back in September. He has played just 32 times for City since his move from Leeds almost four years ago.
Caught Offside report that City value the player at around £10m, with Wolves eyeing a loan move for the player. City could drop their valuation if they can secure a permanent exit for Phillips.
Burnley are in the race too while Everton and Leeds are simply keeping tabs on the situation at this stage.
Phillips earns between £150,000-£165,000 per week, which rules a number of clubs out. City could be forced to pay part of his wages if they want to get the player out of the door before the deadline.
