Kalvin Phillips, who joined Manchester City for £45m from Leeds United in 2022, had a challenging debut season with City, leading to a loan move to West Ham United in 2024. A negative incident between Phillips and Pep Guardiola, where Guardiola criticized Phillips’ weight in a press conference, had a lasting impact on the midfielder. Phillips admitted that these comments affected his confidence and frustrated him, with Guardiola later apologizing for his remarks. Since joining Ipswich Town on loan, Phillips has started three Premier League games, showing promising performances.

Despite the setback at City, Phillips is determined to regain his form and prove his worth at Ipswich. The 28-year-old midfielder has highlighted the importance of body composition and gaining the confidence of his new manager. Phillips’ focus now is on getting back to his best form and making a strong impact at Ipswich, with City hoping for his success as he continues to feature regularly in the Premier League.
