Kalvin Phillips’ future is once again in doubt this summer as his torrid spell at Man City continues, three years after leaving Leeds United for The Etihad.
In the summer of 2022, Phillips left boyhood club Leeds for City. While it was painful for Leeds fans to lose the England international, many understood his decision to join Pep Guardiola’s City that summer.But Phillips has had it tough. Injuries, the form of Rodri and constant criticism from Guardiola in press conferences have since seen Phillips lose confidence and go on loan to both West Ham and Ipswich.
He flopped at West Ham, making mistakes, picking up a red card and suffering injury. It has been a bit better at Ipswich, but he’s managed just 22 appearances this season and Ipswich have been relegated.With Ipswich relegated and Phillips boasting three years on the six-year deal contract he signed in 2022, he is now returning to City. The midfielder took to Instagram on Monday, confirming his departure.He made me believe in myself again. I have no doubt Ipswich will be back where they belong very soon and I wish everyone at the club all the best,” the England midfielder summarised in his post on Instagram.
