Manchester City are expected to confirm their second major signing of the summer transfer window shortly, but does inbound England playmaker Kalvin Phillips have what it takes to shine under Pep Guardiola?
Having already won the race for Borussia Dortmund goal machine Erling Haaland — who cost £51million — City have agreed a fee with Leeds United for Phillips, 26. Manchester Evening News understands that agreement is worth an initial £42million rising to £45million with add-ons.

Here's what pundits Gary Neville and Roy Keane have had to say about Phillips.
