If Raheem Sterling stays at Manchester City next season, there's every chance that six of England's World Cup starting XI will be playing for the Premier League champions.
Kalvin Phillips is the latest England international to sign for City, following Jack Grealish last summer and joining Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, John Stones and Kyle Walker at the Etihad. Phillips may have a fight on his hands to displace Rodri at City, but his signing does significantly strengthen a position that needed a new face after Fernandinho's departure.
And by signing another English player, Pep Guardiola is continuing a trend that gave him huge success in the past. Phillips was an unsung hero in England's run to the Euro 2020 final last year, shining in a double pivot alongside Declan Rice after just one season in the Premier League.
