Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson admits interest in loan move for Kalvin Phillips... with midfielder set to leave Man City after failing to start a Premier League game this season

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson would welcome a loan move for Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

England international Phillips looks set to leave City this month having not managed a single start in the Premier League all season.

Hodgson admits a permanent move for the 28-year-old is probably beyond Palace's finances, but he believes a temporary switch could suit all parties, especially with Euro 2024 on the horizon.

'He's a good player,' said Hodgson.

'I would like to think that if Kalvin Phillips is available and a possibility for the club - once again, there will be financial restrictions, who knows whether the club feels they will be able to afford that - but if you're talking about the level of player, I don't feel there will be many managers who would not say 'yeah, we will be really happy to have him come to the club'.
