Ipswich agree season-long loan deal for Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City

Brighton want Leeds’ Rutter after signing £25m Gruda.

Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips warms up as a substitute during the FA Community Shield match at Wembley Stadium.

Ipswich have agreed a deal with Manchester City for the season-long loan signing of Kalvin Phillips, who is on the brink of attempting to resurrect his career with the newly-promoted club.

The England international is in need of regular football after a frustrating two seasons at City, which included an unsuccessful loan at West Ham earlier this year. Now he has been given the chance to reboot by Kieran McKenna, who would see his acquisition as a significant step in amassing a side that can compete at the highest level.
