Kalvin Phillips Next Club Odds: Crystal Palace Favourites To Sign England Midfielder
Kalvin Phillips looks set to leave Manchester City this month and the best betting sites have reopened the market on where he will end up.
If he had his time again, Phillips probably would not move to the Etihad Stadium in the summer of 2022.
He did win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup last season, but his contribution to each of those successes was minimal.
Phillips has struggled for game time over the last 18 months, and he will be desperate to play more football.
If the England international does indeed bid farewell to City this month, where will he be playing his football thereafter? Let’s check out the latest betting odds.
Crystal Palace Likeliest Contenders To Land Phillips
Crystal Palace are the Evens favourites with football betting sites to sign Phillips.
The Eagles are said to be eyeing a move for the England international in the winter window as they seek to bolster their squad for the second half of the Premier League campaign.
Roy Hodgson expressed his interest in Phillips, but it all comes down to the financial restrictions as to whether he makes the move to Selhurst Park or not.
The 28-year-old is thought to be on the club’s wish list for a loan move until the end of the season and Palace could offer Phillips the luxury of Premier League minutes ahead of Euro 2024.
With competition for places in the England squad looking fierce, it's imperative Phillips moves to a club where he will be a starter if he wants to be involved in Gareth Southgate's plans.
Manchester City Stay Not Impossible While West Ham Need Midfielder
It is not beyond the realms of possibility that Phillips extends his stay at Manchester City until the summer.
An injury to Rodri, Mateo Kovacic or Matheus Nunes in the coming weeks could see City pull the plug on Phillips’ exit. As it stands, they are available at 5/1 to keep hold of him.
West Ham have expressed their interest in Philips for a long time. However, it is thought that his wages may prove to be too big an obstacle.
Man City are believed to have quoted a £6m loan fee for the midfielder, which West Ham have made clear they are unwilling to pay.
There is still two weeks left of the window though, and if City were to lower their demands, a move to the capital may be in the pipeline for the 28-year-old.
Newcastle And Juventus Could Both Make A Move For Ex-Leeds Man
Other options for Phillips include Newcastle and Juventus, both of whom are listed at 8/1 with Bet365.
The former are struggling in the absence of Sandro Tonali and could offer Phillips another chance in the Premier League.
The Magpies are a club who have been ravaged with injuries this season and Eddie Howe may look to bolster his options in the engine room.
Howe would no doubt welcome the services of Phillips, but he admitted Newcastle may not have the spending capabilities due to financial fair play limitations.
Juventus are the shortest price of all non-English teams to secure the former Leeds midfielder's signature.
The Bianconeri are said to be eyeing a move for the England international in the winter window as they seek to bolster their squad for the Serie A run in.
The Italian giants are on a hot streak of 17 games without defeat and Phillips would provide another option for Massimiliano Allegri as his side enter business end of the season.
Tottenham And PSG Among Dark Horses In January Race
Spurs (11/1) are one of the sides who would not struggle to foot the £6m loan fee City are looking for.
However, It is unlikely that City would sell to a top four rival at the midway point of the season and it is unknown as to whether Ange Postecoglou would even fancy Phillips, given the strength he already has in that area.
Paris Saint Germain are given odds of 16/1, should the England international wish to to make a move overseas.
PSG are still in this season's Champions League and this could be a deciding factor for Phillips as he may want to test himself against the world's elite ahead of Euro 2024.
Although, it is expected that all the French outfit's focus this January will be on retaining the services of Kylian Mbappe, with his contract expiring in the summer.
Could Aston Villa Or Liverpool Be Good Value In This Market?
For now Aston Villa and Liverpool, both 33/1, are rank outsiders with betting apps, but that could change - especially as we are still two weeks away from the window closing.
The former are enjoying a superb season and sit third in the Premier League after 21 matches.
Unai Emery will no doubt be pleading with the Villa board for investment given how well the team is doing, as they seek Champions League qualification.
The Reds overhauled their midfield in the summer but another option in that part of the pitch would not go amiss.
However, City would be more loath to sell the England international to Liverpool than Villa.
