Reports | Manchester City ready to make offer for Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips

According to reports from Times, Manchester City are looking to make the midfielder their second signing of the summer after they completed the deal to sign star striker Erling Haaland on Monday. It is understood that the Cityzens have turned their attention to recruiting a midfielder as they are set to lose out on the services of long-term servant Fernandinho. Furthermore, the futures of both Ilkay Gundogan and Oleksandr Zinchenko are also uncertain which makes the acquisition of a midfielder a priority at the Etihad Stadium.

It is understood that Leeds are desperate to tie down their man to a new contract but the England midfielder has decided that a move to City would be beneficial in furthering his ambitions.  Guardiola has earmarked Phillips' dynamic ability to play as a No. 6 or No. 8 as one of the key reasons for signing the midfielder. City would also be able to add the Leeds midfielder as a homegrown player for their Champions League squad registration with an official offer set to arrive in the coming days as they look to seal a deal.
