Danny Mills has claimed that Kalvin Phillips would not be a regular member of Manchester City’s starting XI if he signs from Leeds United. Rumours continue to gather pace regarding the Whites star’s future as Pep Guardiola’s side edge closer to making an approach.
The promise of Champions League football and the chance to win silverware is tough for anyone to turn down and at the age of 26, Phillips might not get the chance of such a big move again. Although, as plenty of players have shown in recent years, the grass isn’t always greener at the so-called ‘bigger clubs’.
Mills thinks it would be almost impossible for Phillips to displace Rodri in the Manchester City team and expects his game time to be limited if he moves across the Pennines. Jack Grealish was one of the players he singled out as a perfect example of how hard it can be to break into a side managed by Guardiola.
