Does anyone still remember Kalvin Phillips?

Midfielder Kalvin Phillips is very close to joining Sheffield United on a loan deal in the Championship.

Kalvin Phillips' career hit rock bottom.

Kalvin Phillips is considered surplus to requirements at Etihad and has only made one appearance for Man City this season. That was a mere 7 minutes in the League Cup, against Huddersfield. Under Pep Guardiola, Phillips has completely failed to find a place in the team, despite once being highly regarded for his interceptions and ball distribution.

According to BBC Sport , talks have taken place between Man City and Sheffield United. The two sides are finalizing the structure of the loan agreement. Time is running out as the winter transfer window deadline is fast approaching.

Phillips joined Man City from Leeds United in 2022 for a fee of £42 million. However, persistent injuries and fierce competition in midfield meant he was relegated to a reserve role, never becoming a regular choice for Guardiola.

In January 2024, Phillips was loaned to West Ham and made eight Premier League appearances, but it wasn't enough to revive his career. In the summer of 2024, he was again loaned out to Ipswich Town. In the colors of the newly promoted Premier League team, the "Pirlo of Yorkshire" continued to disappoint.

If the deal with Sheffield United goes through, it will be a major turning point for Phillips. He will have the opportunity to rediscover his match fitness and salvage a fading career, even if it means playing in the Championship.
