Everton ready to pounce for Man City outcast Phillips

Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips is ready to leave in January.

Phillips has struggled for minutes since joining City from Leeds United last year.

The i says Phillips is likely to head out on loan in January, with Everton favourites to take him off City's hands.

Last month, City manager Pep Guardiola said of Phillips: "I'd love to have done with Kalvin what Marcelo [Bielsa] has done to him.

"We have our own specific way to play and [he] sometimes struggles in a few things, while the previous [Leeds playing style] was perfect [for him]."
