On Monday morning, Manchester City announced the signing of Kalvin Phillips from Leeds United. The 26-year-old has completed a reported £45million move and will take the number four shirt - previously donned by club captain, Vincent Kompany.
He is also seen as Fernandinho's natural replacement, although he has proven to be capable of playing numerous roles. Brought through the Leeds academy in 2015, Phillips mastered his craft under the tutelage of Marcelo Bielsa - one of Pep Guardiola's closest confidants - and has emerged as one of the finest midfielders in the Premier League.
His addition will bring a lot of energy and intelligence to an already star-studded midfield, but he will also offer the Catalan something totally unique.
At one point, City could have up to six England internationals on the field.
