Kalvin Phillips was a standout at Leeds United, but he has struggled since leaving the club.
Phillips struggled to make an impact at Manchester City, and things are only getting worse for the former Leeds midfielder at West Ham.
I was not shocked when Manchester City spent £42 million (The Athletic) for the midfielder in the summer of 2022. As large a club as Leeds is, Phillips was bound to leave Elland Road at some point.
Txiki Begiristain, City Director of Football, was delighted to sign Phillips, describing him as a player who “has proven his fantastic ability and quality over the past few seasons” and is “a formidable talent.”
We all know how good Kalvin Phillips was for Leeds United. The midfielder was a standout for the team in the Championship before thriving in the Premier League under head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
Kalvin Phillips struggled at Manchester City after leaving Leeds United.
However, things did not turn out well for Phillips at City. Yes, he won major trophies at the Etihad Stadium, including the UEFA Champions League, but I am sure that the Citizens would have won them without the 28-year-old.
Phillips made two starts in the Premier League and three substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for City last season.
