Kalvin Phillips told to quit Man City for ‘perfect’ Everton move – Keith Wyness
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has insisted he would be “very keen” to see Man City star Kalvin Phillips join the club on loan.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – claimed Evertonians “would love” the 28-year-old, whose reputation has suffered after moving to City in 2022.
Football Insider revealed on Saturday (27 July) that Phillips is pushing to find a permanent move away from Man City this summer after falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola.
It is believed both Everton and Aston Villa have been keeping an eye on the midfielder’s progress, but sources say a loan move would be the preferred option for both clubs.
He spent the second half of the 2023-24 campaign on loan at West Ham but failed to impress in 10 total appearances for the Irons.
The England international is under contract at Man City until June 2028.

“It would do him the world of good. To me, it feels like he would be exactly the right player to feed off Sean Dyche’s energy.
“I think he would get it and bond with the other players, he’s not an egotistical type.
“He’s a high-quality player, but he revels in the teamwork situation.
“I think he’d be perfect at Goodison, the fans would love him.
“I know he wants a permanent move, but that won’t come to fruition at Everton this summer. Hopefully the club can sort this one out.”
