Arsenal target Man City midfielder in major January upgrade as star admits he’s ‘been unhappy’ at Guardiola treatment_ pep Guardiola confirmed man City star who’s more creative than Bakayo Saka will join Gunners January

Arsenal is looking to make a big move in January to get a Man City midfielder. The player has said that he has been unhappy with how Guardiola has treated him. Guardiola said that a clever Man City player who is better than Bakayo Saka will join the Gunners in January.

Reports say that Arsenal is planning to raid Manchester City in January to get unhappy midfielder Kalvin Phillips. Phillips himself has said that he wants to leave the club.

For the first time, he was upset that Pep Guardiola didn’t play him enough, and he knows that he now has a make-or-break time at the Etihad.

In the summer of 2022, the 27-year-old England star went from his childhood team Leeds to the Etihad for £42 million.

But Rodri was in the best shape of his career as City won a memorable Treble, and Phillips didn’t get much playing time with his new team.

In fact, he only played for 291 minutes in the Premier League and 39 minutes in the Champions League last season. Since he signed, he has only made four starts, which is the same amount of starts he has made for his country in the same time period.

Phillips could have left the club in the summer because he wasn’t getting enough playing time, which could have hurt his chances of making the England team.

In fact, there were rumors that Liverpool, Newcastle, and Bayern Munich were all interested in signing him. It was also said that the player was going to be given the chance to leave.

Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes were brought in over the summer, but Phillips decided to stay put. Guardiola made it clear that the choice was up to the player.

Guardiola said, “We talked with him and the club about the possibility of him going on loan because he wasn’t getting a lot of playing time.”

“But he said, ‘No, I want to stay’. “He is very welcome.

Arsenal is now trying to get Kalvin Phillips.
Guardiola went on: “As a good guy who stays and takes everything,

They can come in. When the transfer window closes, every person here will help because they are all part of the same family.

Since then, Phillips has only played for City for 52 minutes this season.

So, sources from Spain say that Arsenal is seriously thinking about making an offer for Phillips in January because they think it may be time for the player to move on.

So, Mikel Arteta, the manager of the Gunners, would see Phillips as the right long-term replacement for Jorginho, who has been struggling as of late and has gotten some harsh criticism.

When Tottenham scored their second equalizer in Sunday’s North London derby, which ended in a 2-2 tie, Arsenal got a lot of criticism for giving up the ball too quickly.

Phillips, on the other hand, seems eager to give City one more try. And the player is finally looking for a regular run of games,

Rodri was sent off against Nottingham Forest and will miss the next three games. Kevin De Bruyne and Mateo Kovacic are also hurt and can’t play for City.

So, Phillips knows it’s now or never for him at the Etihad. He recently said for the first time that he was unhappy with Guardiola for not giving him enough playing time.

Phillips said before Wednesday’s Carabao Cup game against Newcastle, “Yeah, this is probably the biggest week or so of my Man City career so far.” I’m ready for it and I’m looking forward to it.”

Phillips was ready to take his chance at Man City
During the summer, Phillips’s agent did talk to him about ways to leave.

But after admitting for the first time that he was “unhappy” with his lack of playing time, he was determined to work hard and show Guardiola he was more than capable of giving him a regular spot in his team.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m all about,” he said to the Daily Mirror. “I’m not going to spend just one season at City and then say, ‘Well, I’ve been here for a year and liked it, but it’s not for me,’ just because I’m not playing.

“Even though it’s hard, I want to try to make it onto the team. At Manchester City, I want to try to make a name for myself.

That’s why I’m here. I didn’t come here so I could just sit on a bench and do nothing. I want to keep going in some way, and I hope I can.

“I’ve been very unhappy at times last season and this season, but it’s all been a learning experience for me,”

becoming a better person and player. When I showed up for preseason, I told them I wanted to stay and try again.
