Kalvin Phillips rejoins Sheffield United on loan from Manchester City
England international Kalvin Phillips is set to rejoin Sheffield United on loan from Manchester City following a frustrating spell at the Etihad Stadium.
The midfielder has not featured in the Premier League for his parent club since 2023.
He currently has two years remaining on his contract but has struggled for playing time under Pep Guardiola.
A chance at redemption in South Yorkshire
This impending move marks a fourth temporary departure for the former Leeds United anchor, following previous spells with West Ham and Ipswich Town.
He previously spent the second half of last season with the Blades, though his tenure was severely disrupted.
That brief stint yielded just three appearances before a red card in the Steel City derby and a subsequent knee injury curtailed his campaign.
Since arriving at the Etihad for £42.5m in 2022, the 28-year-old has started just six matches across all competitions for the reigning Premier League champions.
Wilder bolsters midfield options
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has specifically targeted the combative playmaker to reinforce his squad in the middle of the park.
The necessity for midfield reinforcements has been heightened amid the potential departure of Gustavo Hamer to Coventry City.
A successful return to Bramall Lane could prove vital for a player seeking to rebuild his domestic career and add to his 31 international caps.
