Arsenal have reportedly expressed genuine interest in acquiring Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City during the January transfer window.
The Gunners are considering the England international among four midfield options, aiming to strengthen their squad following an injury to Thomas Partey, leaving them short in that position for the entire season. With Kai Havertz yet to meet expectations in his new role under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are actively pursuing midfield reinforcements.
Phillips, who has been labeled by former Leeds United teammate Jack Harrison as 'unbelievable', is set to leave Manchester City just a year after joining, attracting interest from various clubs, including Tottenham, Newcastle United, and Liverpool.
Arsenal, known for recent acquisitions from City, are now in contention for Phillips, with the midfielder potentially viewing a move to the Emirates Stadium as a dream transfer.
The Gunners' pursuit of the title, coupled with their need for a defensive midfielder, aligns with Phillips' skill set. Additionally, Arsenal's emphasis on English talent aligns with Phillips' desire to secure a place in Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2024.
Despite strong competition, Arsenal's reputation and financial capabilities make them a compelling option for Phillips in the January transfer market.
