As Mikel Arteta shows interest in another Manchester City player, Kalvin Phillips has been linked to an Arsenal transfer. Since moving from Leeds United to City, Phillips has struggled since the Spanish boss has repeatedly demonstrated a fondness for players from his old team.

Despite Phillips' presence, City has added new midfielders to their lineup, indicating a fading desire to rely on him.

According to a report from Fichajes, Arsenal is thinking about signing him. As he did with Martin Odegaard, Arteta has a history of acquiring players and developing them into better players. The manager has kept a close eye on Phillips and thinks the Emirates might help the midfielder realize his full potential.


Opinion

Phillips was a fantastic player for Leeds United. Therefore, his problems at City have surprised everyone.

He might be resurrected within the Arsenal squad, but at this point, we ought to bring in individuals who can immediately contribute.

Given that Phillips hasn't played much for City and is presumably not good enough to live up to the high standards we've recently set, he could need some time to catch up.
