Will Manchester City's 'overweight MF' work with SON?

 The news is that Tottenham Hootspur is leading the race to recruit Calvin Phillips.

British 'Team Talk' reported on the 13th (Korean time), "Tottenham, Newcastle United, and Juventus are all interested in signing Phillips, but according to a new report, Tottenham appears to be leading the way."

Born in 1995, the 28-year-old Phillips grew up in Leeds United's youth ranks and later showed outstanding performance in the first team, becoming a key midfielder for the team. And ahead of the 2022-23 season, he was selected by coach Pep Guardiola and moved to the 'big club' Manchester City.

However, Phillips at Leeds and Phillips at Manchester City were completely different players. He made his first debut as a substitute against West Ham United in the first round, but suffered a shoulder injury and missed most of the game. In the second half of the season, he gained so much weight that he could not properly train, causing controversy over his professionalism. The final record for the 2022-23 season is 21 games. Considering that he played only four games as a starter, Phillips was a complete failure, contrary to the expectations he had when he was recruited.

This season, his position has not changed much. Rodri, the team's key resource, is playing most of the games, and even though Rodri is unable to play, he is not being chosen by coach Guardiola.

It appears that he will naturally leave the team. Numerous clubs, including Juventus and Newcastle, are showing interest in Phillips. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which is in need of another third-line midfielder in addition to Manuel Ugarte, is also known to have expressed interest.

In addition, Tottenham, whose midfield line is bleeding due to the African Cup of Nations, is also known to have entered the race to recruit Phillips. The media said, "Coach Enze Postecoglou wants to bring in a new midfielder to replace Pape Sar and Yves Bissouma, who are currently called up to the national team. Tottenham are currently in negotiations with Chelsea's Conor Gallagher, but Chelsea are interested in signing him. “Considering the importance it has, it is still unclear whether manager Mauricio Pochettino is willing to approve his transfer.”

Then, citing the British 'Football Insider', "Tottenham must pay a fee of 5 to 6 million pounds (approximately 8.4 to 10 billion won) to Manchester City in order to complete the Phillips loan agreement this month. Manchester City has a direct relationship with Tottenham and Newcastle. “We will judge them as rivals and demand more money from them,” he added.
