Newcastle United has entered the race alongside Bayern Munich to secure the services of Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips, reports The Northern Echo. The January transfer window is anticipated to see heightened activity for the talented player, who is considering a move away from the Etihad Stadium.
Phillips, who recently featured in England’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy, expressed his eagerness to play regular football.
Speaking on his future, he acknowledged the need for consistent game time and mentioned, “I’m going to have to make a decision on [my future] over the next months.”
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle appears poised to make a move for Phillips, adding to the competition from Bayern Munich. The midfielder acknowledged the challenges he faced in securing a regular spot at Manchester City due to injuries and other factors.
As Phillips returns to Pep Guardiola’s squad, his focus will now shift to breaking into the starting lineup for the upcoming clash against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
