Kalvin Phillips: Man City agree transfer deal to sign England midfielder from Leeds United

Midfielder Kalvin Phillips came through the youth academy at Leeds United; Man City is set to pay a fee in the region of £45m to £50m for the England international.

England international Phillips is moving closer to leaving his boyhood club, where he came through the academy and flourished under former boss Marcelo Bielsa.

The deal has yet to be officially completed as Phillips still needs to agree on personal terms and pass a medical.

Out of loyalty to Leeds, the only club he would have joined was Manchester City and he has turned down approaches from other clubs.

The 26-year-old will look to fill the void left by Fernandinho at City, who revealed he will be leaving the club this summer after nine years with the club.

Arsenal has reached an agreement in principle with Manchester City to sign Gabriel Jesus. There is still work to do to finalize the deal, including medical and personal terms but the fee is understood to be £45m. Arsenal is also expected to go back in with an improved bid for Leeds United forward Raphinha. The north London club put in nearly six months of work with Jesus' representative Marcello Pettinati to ensure they were in pole position to recruit him from the Premier League champions this summer. Jesus indicated his desire to move to the Emirates at the start of June and the only hindrance so far has been the distance between the valuations of both clubs. Jesus wants to reunite with Mikel Arteta, who would regularly offer individual coaching and advice when serving as assistant to Pep Guardiola.
