Kalvin Phillips has admitted he's pondering his future at Manchester City ahead of the January transfer window. The Englishman wants to play more often but understands that it might be impossible under Pep Guardiola.

The former Leeds United star wants to make it to the England squad at the UEFA EURO 2024 and told BBC:

"I know that I need to be playing games and competing every weekend. I'm going to have to make a decision on [my future] over the next months. He [Gareth Southgate] just says that for me to keep my spot, I have to be playing games. That's what I want to do. I have agreed with Gareth on that."

Pep Guardiola admitted that they informed Philipps about the possibility of selling him in the summer. However, the midfielder opted to stay and fight for his place at the Etihad.
