Manchester City have enjoyed an exciting start to the week after they confirmed the arrival of Kalvin Phillips from Leeds United.
The midfielder cost City £42 million plus add-ons - which will provide little comfort to his former club after the success he has brought them in recent years.

While most of the Whites’ fanbase have shown their support for Phillips, some will remain critical of his departure.
