Kalvin Phillips: Everton looking into a move for Manchester City midfielder

Everton are looking at a move for Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

Phillips could again be available on a temporary deal after spending the second half of last season on loan at West Ham.

It had been thought a return to Leeds was likely this summer, but after they lost out to Southampton in the Championship play off final, Everton’s chances of brokering a deal have increased.

The best of Kalvin Phillips for Manchester City and Leeds United in the Premier League

Phillips has made just 31 appearances for City since a £45m transfer from Leeds in July 2022 and Pep Guardiola admitted in December he cannot envisage the England midfielder in his team.

The 28-year-old joined West Ham on loan in January but the move did not work out.

Phillips’ unhappy loan stint hit a low after he was caught on camera giving the middle finger to fans following the 4-3 defeat at Newcastle, where he gave away a penalty.

Phillips’ woe at West Ham

  • 26 January – Phillips signs on loan for West Ham from Manchester City
  • 31 January – Phillips makes big error three minutes into his debut which led to a Dominic Solanke goal
  • 17 February – Handed his next start away at Nottingham Forest but sent off for two yellow cards. West Ham lose 2-0
  • 15 March – Phillips is left out of the latest England squad by Gareth Southgate citing a lack of form as the reason
  • 30 March – Gives away penalty vs Newcastle which leads to West Ham squandering a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3

Despite being one of the stars for England during Euro 2020, Phillips has lost his place in Gareth Southgate’s squad and was not included in the preliminary 33-man party for Euro 2024.

Everton also remain in talks with Leeds over another loan deal for winger Jack Harrison.
