Few Liverpool fans may have been particularly enamoured by reports of the club’s signing of James Milner from league rivals Manchester City at the time.

Yet, it proved one of the Merseysiders’ shrewdest transfers of all time – a feat Jurgen Klopp’s men could perhaps repeat once more this January.

Fabrizio Romano reports on X that out-of-favour star Kalvin Phillips is now ‘100% leaving’ the Etihad-based outfit in January.

Kalvin Phillips will leave Man City in January despite Pep words.

“Everybody knows the situation he has and it depends on what happens, we will talk. We will talk about how is the market in January, it’s not easy…”, he said about Kalvin.
