Kalvin Phillips News

Manchester United are out of the Champions League and Erik ten Hag could set for a major overhaul of his squad in the January transfer window.

Namely, the likes of Jadon Sancho , Kalvin Phillips and Raphael Varane are all players who's futures could take a new turn during the winter window.

On Friday afternoon, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admitted that he 'struggles to see' the former Leeds midfielder in his vision at the club.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: I was at Luton a few weeks ago for the Liverpool game and the creaky old place was rocking. So much so that Kenilworth Road couldn't hack it with a hole in the ceiling of the gents.

Kalvin Phillips has made just eight appearances this campaign and the rumour mill is in overdrive about a possible January exit from the Etihad Stadium.

There will be huge speculation linking a host of stars with exits - especially at Manchester United - as the futures of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Donny van de Beek grow uncertain.

CRAIG HOPE: The midfielder made his full home debut in the Premier League against Chelsea last month and followed up by playing 90 minutes versus Paris Saint-Germain and Man United.

With less than a month until the January transfer window opens, goalkeepers are dominating the latest round of transfer rumours on Tuesday.

Another packed weekend of Premier League and European football is in the books and there's plenty of transfer gossip swirling around as a new week kicks off.

JACK GAUGHAN: The England midfielder has featured for just 216 minutes across eight games this season, with Rico Lewis so far preferred during City's Champions League campaign.

With an injury list as long as any of their Premier League rivals, Newcastle have been linked with the out-of-favour Man City midfielder but face competition from Juventus.

Gareth Southgate's side qualified for their eighth successive major tournament with ease last month following a 3-1 victory over Italy at Wembley.

The 25-year-old looked impressive as a playmaker for his international side, and earned himself Player of the Match in the contest at Wembley ahead of last weekend.

The Three Lions manager is blessed to have such a plethora of talent to choose from. England's 3-1 win over Italy back in October sealed their spot in Germany next year.

With Euro 2024 just seven months away, Southgate named his final squad of the year last week and included Harry Maguire, Kalvin Phillips and Jordan Henderson once again.

Sutton and Ian Ladyman were challenged to present their starting XIs for the 2024 European Championships. The two clashed over whether to include Kalvin Phillips and how loyal to be to players.

SAMI MOKBEL: The Manchester United striker trained on Wednesday morning and is likely to be in contention for a role in Friday's penultimate Euro 2024 qualifier against Malta.

England have announced two of their star players will leave St George's Park later today after pulling out of Gareth Southgate's squad for this month's Euro 2024 qualifiers.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: The manager has never seen you play but trusts the word of Carlos Vicens, an assistant, that there is a youngster who should travel with them for pre-season in America.

There were few surprises in the roster announced, save for the absence of Sterling . Many fans have accepted that Southgate will keep picking Phillips, Maguire and Henderson.

Juventus want a midfielder for the January window with Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli facing lengthy suspensions.

Pep Guardiola has admitted he 'would love' to give Kalvin Phillips as many opportunities as possible, but acknowledged he faced a difficult task in displacing Rodri.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO: A starter during the last Euro 2024 qualifying tie against Italy, the negative situation at Man City nonetheless could put his career in jeopardy.

Kalvin Phillips is reportedly expected to depart Manchester City in the January transfer window, after seeing his opportunities at the Etihad limited under Pep Guardiola.

Pep Guardiola is likely to let him leave on loan in January but will wait to see whether Newcastle are title rivals before making a decision when the transfer window opens, according to the Sun .

The reduced number had long been the norm at international competitions but international squads were given leeway due to the disruptive impact of Covid-19.

ROB DRAPER: Now this was the Euro 2020 final we all wanted. Maybe it just helps if you have Jude Bellingham in this form. Or maybe England are just much better two years on

Kalvin Phillips admitted he was suffering from a lack of match sharpness and was lucky not be sent off during England's sensational 3-1 win over Italy on Tuesday.

ROB DRAPER AT WEMBLEY: Having conceded an early goal to Gianluca Scamacca, the Three Lions responded with three goals to earn revenge for the Italians' last trip to Wembley.

Phillips opted to fight for his place in the starting squad following a disappointing maiden campaign but he could now be tempted by a move to Newcastle this winter.

A win for England could secure their spot at next summer's tournament, while the Italians are desperate to pick up points as they battle with Ukraine for second place in the group.

It's a crucial clash between the Three Lions and the Azzurri, with Gareth Southgate's men able to qualify for Euro 2024 by sealing a point, while Italy are in need of a big victory.

SAMI MOKBEL: The England boss, having fielded an understrength side in Friday's friendly win over Australia, will revert to experience for Tuesday's clash against Italy at Wembley.

Tipped to be a vital player for the club and, if nothing more, an understudy to Rodri, the England midfielder has made just five starts for City, with a further 21 appearances coming from the bench.

The Manchester City midfielder was filmed signing autographs and posing for pictures at St George's Park as the England team gathered for training.

SAMI MOKBEL: If the penny hasn't dropped for Kalvin Phillips then it may never will. Overlooked by Pep Guardiola again, this time in favour of an 18-year-old.

DANNY MURPHY: Rodri's absence gives Arsenal a unique chance to shake up Manchester City - and I hope Mikel Arteta chooses the aggressive option to take advantage.

In the lead up to Euro 2020 - England's most successful run at a major tournament in over 50 years - it's easy to forget that there were calls for the then-Manchester City forward to be dropped.

Southgate's persistent inclusion of both Kalvin Phillips and Jordan Henderson has continued to raise eyebrows, with both once more called upon for the clashes with Australia and Italy.

JACK GAUGHAN: Grealish, nearly ever-present during City's march to last season's Treble, returned from injury this week but has watched Doku flourish in his absence.

Guardiola deserves credit for his ability to push the majority of his players to new levels, but not everyone has flourished under the 52-year-old at Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Man City.

Phillips, 27, has made just 23 appearances for the Treble winners since completing a £45million move from Leeds United back in 2022, as he continues to play a bit-part role in Guardiola's side.

Rodri saw red for raising his hands to Morgan Gibbs-White's throat during Saturday's 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest and begins his suspension on Wednesday when City face Newcastle.

JACK GAUGHAN: Pep Guardiola had to be reminded that Rodri's ban for violent conduct constituted three matches, and that suspension now brings Kalvin Phillips into sharp focus.

It comes after the 27-year-old, who joined the Cityzens in a £45million move back in 2022, has struggled for game time under Guardiola. Phillips has fallen down in Guardiola's pecking order.

England boss Gareth Southgate defended his decision to select Kalvin Phillips against Scotland despite the midfielder playing just six minutes for Manchester City this season.

Every English top-flight side has players jetting overseas and the air miles are quickly racking up for individuals travelling the globe to compete in international fixtures.

Chris Sutton has suggested that 'training ground players' like Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips should not be included in the England squad.

Gareth Southgate is expected to sign off as England manager after Euro 2024, which would end a period of stability and progress for the Three Lions.

It's definitely an eyebrow-raiser. The fee. That the Premier League champions have sold a prized academy asset to a team who ought to be considered a rival.

Raheem Sterling was the shock headline omission from the 23-man group, with the in-form Chelsea forward overlooked despite starting the season well and making himself available for selection.

Among the squad are Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips , while Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is listed as a midfielder.

SIMON JONES: Man City's Kalvin Phillips remains determined to stay despite Bayern Munich showing interest while Mateo Kovacic has completed his medical ahead of a £25m move.

It comes after Mail Sport reported earlier this month that Thomas Tuchel would be looking to make the Portuguese star his first signing at the club, despite interest also coming from Manchester City .

The England manager has stuck by the two despite their lack of regular action. Maguire played in England's recent games and Phillips came off the bench to score against North Macedonia.

Man City emerged as a shock suitor for the Hammers captain after the club rejected Arsenal's opening bid for the England star at the end of last week.

Yes, England won their two European Championship qualifiers in the last week very comfortably - but there will still be lots to stew on for manager Gareth Southgate.

SAMI MOKBEL: The England international joined City last summer in a deal worth £42million - but was restricted to just four starts in all competitions as the club won a historic Treble.

There has long been a school of thought that Trent Alexander-Arnold is just too talented not to be an England regular. But we didn't see him as a regular in midfield.
