Let’s begin: Another Man City player has agreed to join Arsenal in January after observing the team’s progress. It will be a dream come true for the £50 million star, but Pep Guardiola will suffer yet another heartbreaking setback. News that’s sizzling.
These days, the England international plays sparingly for Pep Guardiola’s squad and displays uneasiness when he does.
The former Leeds midfielder needs a change of scenery, and ESPN’s Janusz Michallik has speculated that Phillips would eventually join Arsenal.
Phillips and Declan Rice have unquestionably played some of England’s best football together, and Michallik indicated that pairing them again at the club level may make a lot of sense.
Gunners to Phillips
Michallik alluded to the possibility that the man with the £45 million would visit the Emirates.
“If they (Rice and Phillips) play together, it’s definitely possible, to put it mildly. I wouldn’t suggest that Kai Havertz’s attendance is a vote against him, but Odegaard and Rice are free to make their own decisions. Despite being usually forced to play in the holding midfielder position, Phillips is not one. I can identify it. I can appreciate that and comprehend Kalvin Phillips’ desire to move there. We’ve seen people move from Man City to Arsenal in the past, so Mikel Arteta probably knows him even if he wasn’t there at the time. The possibility of injury exists, and Kalvin Phillips hasn’t performed this well since his early career with Leeds under Marcelo Bielsa. The transfer is better for Phillips and, in my opinion, poses more risk to Arsenal, Michallik added.
Worth a shot
If Manchester City ultimately decides to put Phillips on the market, the Yorkshire Pirlo would be a good fit for Arsenal.
It is commonly known that he enjoys playing with Declan Rice, and Mikel Arteta routinely signs players who previously played for Pep Guardiola.
A move to the Emirates might be the panacea for Phillips, who can be a fantastic player in the proper conditions.
Although it is unknown whether City will sell to Arsenal, we think this is a move that would make a lot of sense.
