Treble-winning Newcastle United target ‘desperate’ to make transfer move
Newcastle United target Kalvin Phillips is reportedly desperate to leave Man City this transfer window
At Leeds – Phillips established himself as one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League – and that prompted Man City boss Pep Guardiola to take him to the Etihad.
However – the move has not quite worked out and he has struggled to make an impact -with a number of injuries keeping him on the sidelines more often that he would have hoped for.
Now rumours have claimed that England midfielder Phillips is desperate to leave last season’s treble winners and ensure he gets a decent run of games ahead of the upcoming European championships.
But, with just 17 days of the transfer window remaining, no club has yet tabled a serious offer for the former Leeds ace.
Newcastle are believed to be Phillips’ keenest suitors but have been unwilling to bow to City’s demands for a £7m loan fee and obligation to make the deal permanently in the summer.

Newcastle have had a dodgy start to the new Premier League season, but they need players that have experience at the top level that could bring something extra to the side, and Phillips could be that man.
He has flopped at Man City, but he is still a quality player that could thrive in that Newcastle midfield. So if the price is right, Eddie Howe should push for a deal as he is a player that would add some more quality to the side.
