Kalvin Phillips could take an ideal shirt number at Manchester City as the England international closes in on a high-profile summer move from Leeds United. City have agreed terms with the Yorkshire side for the 26-year-old which includes £42million up front and £3million in add-ons.
Personal terms are still to be confirmed, but Manchester Evening News understands they will be sorted quickly as Premier League champions City aim to get their second summer signing over the line. Of course, they have already confirmed that Erling Haaland will touch down at the Etihad Stadium next season.
Phillips was being tracked by Manchester United with City's rivals putting together framework for an approach before Erik ten Hag was appointed as manager. However, despite that interest, a summer transfer to City always seemed more likely.
