Al Shorta Overview

Manchester City are seeing a tumble into the Championship speculated on, as their long-running Financial Fair Play (FFP) case stumbles towards a conclusion, and that situation could play into the hands of Kalvin Phillips. The England international midfielder has become a forgotten man at the Etihad Stadium, as he takes in another loan at Sheffield United, but Matt Kilgallon has told GOAL that a clean slate could be offered in the second tier.

Manchester City have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Borussia Dortmund prodigy Mathis Albert after intensifying their interest in the teenager. However, the Bundesliga outfit remain determined to retain the 17-year-old United States international despite his limited first-team opportunities at Signal Iduna Park this campaign.
