More Details

The Premier League champions will continue to pay a portion of the 28-year-old’s rumoured £140,000 weekly salary after the clubs reached an agreement yesterday.

This is a huge signing for the Ipswich Town, as Phillips was a regular for England as recently as last year and has won 31 full caps with one goal. The player had his medical done last night.

“This is a day I’ve been waiting a number of weeks for now and I’m very happy to be here,” he told the club site.

“I’ve had some great conversations with players I know here and also with the manager, who I have obviously heard a lot about, and I’m excited to be here and be part of his team, playing how he likes to play the game.

“The conversations with Kieran McKenna and Mark Ashton have been really good and I followed Ipswich’s season closely last year, so I know the journey the club has been on and it’s a great story which I’m now excited to be a part of.

“I want to play as many games as possible, enjoy playing football again and help the team win as many games as possible in the Premier League.”

Kieran McKenna said: “We are very happy to have Kalvin here and he is a fantastic signing for the football club

“He is of course a high-calibre, experienced midfielder who has played at the highest levels of the game, in both club and international football.

“He’s had a fantastic career up until this point and we believe he is going to be a big addition to the group.

“Kalvin has much to offer us in terms of his qualities both on and off the ball, and he is a really humble and likeable character. He has been a key member of a newly-promoted team in the Premier League before and of course made a big impression for Leeds United during that period.

“Like all players who come here we want to try and help them improve, whether that’s a younger player or one with more experience. That’s a big part of our culture and we’re sure Kalvin can make some big steps with us to help him and the club have a really positive season.”

The Leeds native Phillips, who will wear the number eight shirt for City, has had a difficult time since leaving his hometown club in the summer of 2022 to join the Manchester-based club for £45 million.
