Arsenal has been linked to a potential move for Kalvin Phillips, as Mikel Arteta expresses interest in yet another Manchester City player. The Spanish manager has consistently shown his preference for players from his former club, and Phillips has faced difficulties since his transfer from Leeds United to City.
Despite Phillips’ presence, City has brought in new midfielders for their squad, suggesting a waning interest in relying on him.
A Report from Fichajes indicates that Arsenal is considering making a move for him. Arteta has a track record of signing players and nurturing them into better players, as he did with the likes of Martin Odegaard. The manager has been closely monitoring Phillips and believes that the midfielder could reach his full potential at the Emirates.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Phillips was a superb player on the books of Leeds United and his struggles at City have come as a surprise.
However, he could be revived in our squad, but we are at a stage where we should be signing players who can get into the team and make an impact immediately.
Phillips may need time to get up to speed, considering that he has hardly played at City and is probably not good enough to meet the high standards we have set recently.

No dice
Not a cat in hells chance. Where would he even play, other than in our “reserve” team of course!
Surely not to play, maybe to carries water for Partey
A sort of Jeeves character ,in effect then!
Doubt if his accent would pass muster. I prefer Ian Carmichael or Stephen Fry!
He was a very good player for Leeds and we know partey doesn’t have to many more season here! He would be a perfect replacement! Him rice and odegaard would be a serious midfield that could go up against anybody in my opinion. He’d just need to get his groove back!!!
He needs to get his grove back? Chances are you would be bringing a monkey without tail and aesthetically he would not be beautiful. Be careful of what failed the first marriage. I see plenty that irked City and put them off. Am regularly disappointed when we sell Hale End product.
I’d rather we keep elnenny or bring back maitland niles than buy Phillips!
I remember how many fans said similar about Declan Rice. Not worth the money, I’d rather we go for onana and so on…
if this context is anything to go by,why can’t we Aoron Ramsy than this Philips, somebody who is even characterised to indiscipline issues. we nolonger want rejects. We even have Emile Smith Rowe. He’s capable of playing alongside Rice and Partey.
I rate him, and with Jorginho , Partey & Elneny close to the end of their careers, he would be a good fit alongside Rice.
