Calvin Philips joins Man City

 

Man City announce Kalvin Phillips transfer as England midfielder joins in £45million deal after Gabriel Jesus leaves for Arsenal.

Manchester City have announced their second signing of the summer with Kalvin Phillips joining from Leeds on a six-year deal.


Having bought striker Erling Haaland earlier in the transfer window, the Premier League champions have now strengthened in midfield in Phillips, who joins in a £45million deal.


The announcement came just over an hour after the deal to sell Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal was announced.


Phillips leaves behind a Leeds side he’s been associated with for over 12 years. He signed his professional contract in 2014, when Leeds were in the Championship. 


He played a key role in getting Leeds promoted to the Premier League in the 2019/20 season.


Their first season in back in the top flight saw Phillips shine, which led to regular call-ups in Gareth Southgate’s England squad.


The 26-year-old shone during England’s Euro 2020 campaign, starting every Three Lions match of the tournament.


And despite an injury-hit 2021/22 campaign, City have seen enough to bring him on board.
