Phillips was in Marcelo Bielsa’s squad, winning the Championship in the 2019-20 season. He was also in England’s squad that reached the finals of the Euro 2020 and lost to Italy in penalty shootouts. 

The England international started his career as a box-to-box midfielder. However, coach Marcelo Bielsa transformed him into a defensive midfielder in the 2018-19 season. 

The midfield maestro is famous for his range of short passing and ball distribution. The Manchester City to be star is also very good at winning possession back for his team.

Leeds United have already signed one midfielder in preparation for Kalvin Phillip’s departure this summer. They have signed Marc Roca from Bayern Munich to help strengthen their midfield. However, the club will have to sign one star midfielder so as not to feel Kalvin Phillip’s absence next season.

Manchester City signing Kalvin Phillips is an indication that the club wants to defend the English Premier League next season. The Cytizens also intend to win the UEFA Champions League for the first team in history. 

Manchester City’s first signing this summer was Erling Braut Haaland. The Cytizens have been following on Haaland since last summer and finally signed him earlier this month. Borussia Dortmund received 85.5 million euros in total from Manchester City so as to let Haaland join the English Premier League giants.
