Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips is set to join newly promoted Ipswich Town on loan for the season.
Phillips has failed to break into the City starting side since his £45m move from Leeds United two years ago.
He joined West Ham on loan for the second half of last season in an effort to secure an England spot for Euro 2024 but a combination of poor form and injury wrecked his chances of making Gareth Southgate’s squad.Although City manager Pep Guardiola spoke highly of the 28-year-old during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, he was left on the bench for Saturday’s Community Shield success against Manchester United, even though star midfielder Rodri was not involved.
A number of clubs, including Fulham, were interested in signing Phillips but Ipswich appear to have won the chase, with the deal expected to be completed by Friday morning.Nizaar Kinsella, BBC Sport senior football news reporter:He arrived as a fully-fledged England international midfielder after a sensational period at his boyhood club Leeds.
He arrived at the club not match fit and began making a series of mistakes that would ultimately cost him his Euro 2024 place, having been a regular in Gareth Southgate's qualifying campaign. Such was his influence during the majority of Southgate's tenure, he was still the England manager's mind during Euro 2024, when he said during a rocky group stage "we don't have a natural replacement for Kalvin Phillips".Chloe Ayling was the victim no-one believedThe story of Manchester United's legendary Busby Babes
