Kalvin Phillips was one of the most talented midfielders in England, but after a big move to Manchester City and an ill-fated loan spell at West Ham, he now hopes to rejuvenate his career at Ipswich.
Kalvin Phillips plays as a defensive midfielder for Premier League club Manchester City and the England national team, who is currently on loan at Ipswich Town.
Born and raised in Leeds, Phillips joined United's academy in 2010, aged 14, before eventually signing his first professional contract with the club in the summer of 2014.
After impressing at Leeds, and helping the club return to the Premier League, he was made his debut for England in September 2020.
In July 2022, Phillips joined Manchester City for a fee of £45million on a six-year contract.
But after struggling for game time at City, he joined West Ham in January 2024, in a bid to cement his place in the England squad for Euro 2024.
But his form was so poor at West Ham that he was overlooked by Gareth Southgate for the friendlies against Brazil and Belgium in March and missed Euro 2024.
