Everton transfer news as sources close to Kalvin Phillips moot Manchester City exit
Sources close to Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips suggest he wants to leave in January, amid links to Everton, per Fichajes.net.
The Spanish media outlet claim that reports of him leaving have grown stronger in recent weeks.
The 27-year-old has struggled for game time at the Etihad Stadium since his move from Leeds United last summer.
Right one?
However, he’s proven in the Premier League with Leeds United just how efficient he can be as a deep-lying playmaker.
He’s even done extremely well for England despite his lack of match fitness which only suggests that there’s undoubtedly a talented player in there.
If City are willing to do a deal and the Toffees can sign him for a cut-price deal, it’s a transfer one cannot write off.
There are certainly going to be other teams around Everton in the table who may also be willing to take a punt on him then.
His injury record may be a cause for concern but it remains to be seen if Sean Dyche will want someone technical over a more defensive option in midfield.
Only time will tell as a lot of factors will go into the decision over whether or not the Toffees will be signing him.
In other Everton news, a condition has now emerged on Sean Dyche being sacked amid trouble behind the scenes at Goodison Park.
