Fulham are still keen on signing Manchester City’s out-of-favour midfielder Kalvin Phillips, according to a report in the Independent this afternoon.
The England international has attracted considerable interest from across the Premier League this summer despite a disappointing loan spell at West Ham United last season. He had been tipped to join Everton as a replacement for Andre Onana, but the Independent’s Richard Jolly claims that newly-promoted Ipswich and the Whites have joined the race to sign the former Leeds man.
Phillips has only made 31 appearances since signing for City in a £42.5m deal in July 2022 and is now considered surplus to requirements by Pep Guardiola. It is likely that any move for the holding midfielder would be a loan deal and Fulham are thought to be eyeing the Thorp Arch academy graduate as a potential replacement for Joao Palhinha after moves for Scott McTominay and Andre floundered in recent weeks.
Sounds Ok not a bad player Guardiola must have seen something in him He would do Fulham and he’s a proven PL player.maybe a loan to buy would be an option
Loan deal with a option to buy and that’s it !!
Good holding player, if Silva can get him playing any think like he did for England next Rice he was outstanding England missed a inform Phillips
The club need to understand the reasons behind his collapse in form. It may well be that it’s simply that his confidence has been shattered but there may be lifestyle issues and these will be known to the people who matter. It’s a no brainer if there’s a reasonable chance of getting him back to what he used to be.
He is more a Championship player he is not we want have a look at his time at West Ham not good
He’s worth a punt
If it is a loan with option to buy that is ok but not a full transfer. What has happened about Andre
We need a bit of steel in midfield he might just do it
When heypn song he is excellent. Marco can bring out the best in him.
Fulham have a history of reviving players. If I was him I would run to Fulham because if he cant turn it around at at the whites then there is no hope for him.
Not for us please he is in my opinion a liability and an erratic in form, loan maybe don’t waste time and money .
Oh for Christ’s sake.
Rodri is the only reason he isn’t playing like Ødegaard is the only reason why ESR wasn’t playing. It’s a no-brainer.
Seems like Mr Phillips is definitely a Marmite sort of player for all on this sub.
Would love to see him come to play for Fulham, would help a lot.
He hasn’t suddenly become a bad player after performing for England. If Marco could persuade him he has a long term future at Fulham and not just a stop gap role then he could be ideal to slot in to the defensive role
Give him a go loan to buy. I’m sure Marco can revive him. Class is permanent, form is temporary
