£45 million Liverpool, Aston Villa target wants Newcastle United move Possible Deal

£45 million Liverpool, Aston Villa target wants Newcastle United move Possible Deal

Dean Jones has claimed that Kalvin Phillips will prioritise a move to Newcastle United over other suitors like Liverpool, Aston Villa and Juventus.
According to Dean Jones via Give Me Sport, Kalvin Phillips could lean towards joining Newcastle United in the January transfer window. The English midfielder has failed to make the grade at Manchester City, which could lead to him leaving in the upcoming window.

 

Kalvin Phillips could become one of the biggest transfer stories of the upcoming January window. The £45 million signing has failed to make the grade at Manchester City, as Pep Guardiola refuses to use him in games despite some of those screaming for a player of the England International’s calibre.

It is more about confidence from not being able to convince the manager, who thought it wise to spend £45 million on signing the midfielder in the first place. As the January transfer window approaches, there is more talk about Phillips wanting to leave than Manchester City, eager to keep him at the club.

 

There is considerable interest in the market, with Juventus putting themselves in a good position for the midfielder earlier. The Bianconeri have a crisis of sorts in the middle of the park after the bans received by Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli.

 

However, Juventus might need help convincing Phillips of a move to Italy, as many Premier League sides are also interested. For instance, Liverpool had links a few months ago, as Jurgen Klopp may retain an interest.

 

Aston Villa are also considering signing Phillips as a potential replacement for Douglas Luiz, with Arsenal linked with the Brazilian. Similarly, Newcastle United are also looking at him, with Give Me Sport’s Dean Jones insisting Phillips will lean towards signing for the Magpies if an offer came through.

 

Newcastle United are ready to step up the chase for Phillips, among other stars, ahead of January. Eddie Howe continues to manoeuvre through a significant injury crisis, with Nick Pope joining the treatment room and will miss four months of action.

 

Newcastle United will benefit from having a player of Kalvin Phillips’s quality in their ranks. His arrival could boost their chances of finishing in the top four.
