"I'd like to see him there": Kieran Gibbs urges Manchester City man to join Newcastle United this summer

Kieran Gibbs believes Newcastle United should pursue the transfer of Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The former Premier League left-back considers Phillips to be a highly skilled player, but acknowledges that his time at Etihad since his £42 million transfer last summer hasn't been successful.

Gibbs suggests that former Leeds United man could benefit from a change and supports the idea of him joining Eddie Howe's Newcastle United, who will be participating in the Champions League next season.

While some players, like Jack Grealish, may require a year to settle in, Gibbs acknowledges the challenge for Phillips, a defensive-minded midfielder, due to the exceptional level of quality among his competitors at his current side. 

“I do think he needs a refresh. I think Newcastle is a good shout for him. I would like to see him there. I think it’s a shame for Kalvin. He has nicked a Treble, by the way, so I am not sure he will be complaining that much," told ESPN.
