Kalvin Phillips has 'no intention' of quitting Manchester City this summer

Kalvin Phillips has insisted he has no intention of quitting Manchester City this summer after an injury-hit first season at the club.

The England midfielder was signed from Leeds United in a £45 million move on a six-year contract last July but made only 21 appearances in all competitions as Manchester City secured a historic treble.

Phillips, 27, started just two Premier League games for Pep Guardiola's side, who sealed their third title in a row after overcoming the challenge of Arsenal who held top spot for much of the campaign.

He ended the season by scoring his first England goal in Monday’s 7-0 thrashing of North Macedonia in a Euro 2024 qualifier at Old Trafford and goes into the summer focused on getting himself fully fit.

“To be honest I was injured before I even went to City, so that is one of the main reasons why I was injured so much,” he said.

“City have been amazing to help me get back to full fitness and I eventually played a few more games for City and England, so credit to the medical staff at City for helping me.

“My intention is to stay there. We have just won the treble, so there is no reason for me to leave, other than if I am not playing, [then] I will obviously have to think about it.

“I cannot give it 12 months and say, ‘I am not playing so I am going to leave’. I came to Manchester City to win trophies and we won the trophies, but I didn’t play as much as I wanted to do.

“With England I played a little bit, but was ruled out through injuries as well. It is just nice to be back fit. I have nothing to worry about now. Everything is fine with my body. I will continue to work hard next season and hopefully do well when I go back to City.”

Phillips admitted he is still trying to get to grips with
