Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing Football Insider, report Everton hold an active interest in Phillips as they assess a January midfield addition.
- Any deal is expected to be a short-term loan rather than a permanent transfer, with Phillips still tied to Manchester City through 2028.
- Phillips has seen minimal game time this season, limited to a Carabao Cup outing and only a few league minutes.
- Recent loan spells at West Ham and Ipswich and injuries, including Achilles surgery earlier this year, raise concerns over his match readiness.
- Coverage suggests David Moyes may view Phillips as a revival project similar to Jack Grealish’s loan surge at Everton, though skepticism remains over the risks.
