Premier League: Kalvin Phillips joins Sheffield United on loan

The slide keeps going

Fifty million euros. That is what Manchester City handed over for Kalvin Phillips in 2022. Three years later he is off to the English second tier on loan. The fall is hard to watch.

The midfielder signed for Sheffield United on Tuesday, a season-long deal. City sent him off with a short line on social media. Good luck, Kalvin. Nothing more.

Another season to salvage
