Everton FC Eyes Loan Deal for Manchester City Midfielder Kalvin Phillips. this will be a good move for Manchester City who needs to avoid financial losses on a player who is sure not to see playing time next season
Everton FC is exploring a potential loan deal for Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who has fallen out of favor at the Etihad Stadium. Phillips, an England international, made a £45 million move to Manchester City from Leeds United in summer 2022 but has struggled to make an impact.
After a dismal half-season loan at West Ham, where he made just 10 appearances, Phillips’ first-team prospects at Manchester City have become increasingly bleak. A return to Leeds United was previously considered, but their Championship play-off final defeat to Southampton has effectively ended that possibility.
Everton manager Sean Dyche is keen to bolster his squad and sees Phillips as a valuable addition. The Toffees are also in talks with Leeds United over a deal for winger Jack Harrison, who impressed during his loan spell at Goodison Park last season. Harrison missed Everton’s final two games of the season due to a hamstring injury but made 35 appearances, contributing three goals and four assists.
The potential loan deal for Phillips comes as Everton FC owner Farhad Moshiri revealed rival interest in taking over the club. Moshiri has been exploring alternatives to the proposed 777 takeover, with a Premier League chief admitting that the club’s takeover situation is complex.
Meanwhile, Everton legend Seamus Coleman has made an admission about his future at the club, suggesting that he may be open to a new challenge. With the transfer window set to open, Everton fans will be watching with interest to see how the club’s squad shapes up for the new season.
