Kalvin Phillips wants to STAY at Man City next season despite starting just four games in all competitions... as he reveals he plans to speak to Pep Guardiola about his lack of gametime

Kalvin Phillips wants to stay at Manchester City next season despite his peripheral role under Pep Guardiola.

The England international joined City last summer in a deal worth £42million - but was restricted to just four starts in all competitions as the club won a historic Treble, with uncertainty growing over his future heading into next season.

Phillips is wanted by West Ham, who view the midfielder as a prime candidate to replace outgoing captain Declan Rice.

But the 27-year-old, who scored his first international goal in the 7-0 win over North Macedonia, insists it is his preference to stay and fight for his place at City next season - but has stressed he will hold talks with Guardiola when they return to pre-season training next month.
