Newcastle now think ‘unbelievable’ player may not join them in January
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United are in doubt over signing Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City.
That is according to TuttoJuve, which has reported interest in the former Leeds United midfielder from two other clubs in the Premier League.
So, what has been reported about Newcastle United and Kalvin Phillips? Let’s take a look.

The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that the transfer is “in doubt” at the moment. Newcastle now think that he may not join them this month. Crystal Palace and Fulham are ready to make their moves for the England international midfielder.
TuttoJuve has noted that Juventus also want to sign Phillips, adding that like Newcastle, they are “doubtful” of a potential deal.
My View: Newcastle United should bid for Kalvin Phillips
In my view, Newcastle United should do their best to sign Kalvin Phillips from Premier League rivals Manchester City in the January transfer window.
Sandro Tonali is banned, so, for the short term at least, Phillips would be able to fill in for the Italian midfielder.

I do not think that Phillips is an ‘elite’ player, but then again, Newcastle are not at a level to attract ‘elite’ footballers. I believe that a transfer would suit both the player and the club.
