Manchester City have completed the signing of former Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips on a six-year contract.

City agreed a basic fee of £42million with Leeds for Philips last month, with a potential further £3m to be added in bonuses.

The England international made 235 appearances for his former club in his stay for the past eight seasons.

Phillips said: “I am absolutely delighted to have joined Manchester City.

“City have again proved to be the best team in the country with an amazing squad and a manager in Pep Guardiola who is rightly considered to be the finest in the world.

He added: “To be able to play under Pep and learn from him and his coaching staff as well as be part of such a fantastic squad is a prospect that I am incredibly excited about

“City are a world-class club with world-class staff and facilities and it’s a dream come true to have joined the club.”

Phillips is City’s fourth new arrival of the summer after the signings of Erling Haaland, Stefan Ortega Moreno, and Julian Alvarez.
