Wolves revive interest in Man City midfielder Kalvin Phillips | OneFootball

Wolverhampton Wanderers have revived their interest in Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips, per the Daily Mail.

They believe his experience can help as they brace themselves for late interest in Joao Gomes and Andre.

The 30-year-old has played only once this season due to injuries. Even when fit, his form has been worrisome.

The Englishman has struggled since his big move, losing confidence and failing to replicate his previous levels. He went on loans to find his groove again, but it proved futile.

Wolves are playing with fire

A move to Wolves could revive his flailing career, and he should be pushing to leave and play.

However, this is a move that makes little sense and carries enormous risk for Wolves.

Phillips would not represent an upgrade on what manager Rob Edwards already has at his disposal. If anything, he would be a clear downgrade.

Wolves are fighting for their Premier League lives and cannot afford sentimental gambles on reputation alone.

Phillips is older, increasingly injury-prone, and has spent the best part of three years short on match sharpness and confidence.

That is a dangerous profile for a club desperate for reliability, energy and durability in midfield.

Wolves need legs, intensity and players who can cope with the relentless physical demands of a relegation scrap. Phillips offers none of that right now.

His struggles have not been fleeting but prolonged, across multiple environments and managers, suggesting this is not simply a case of needing minutes.

Banking on him rediscovering his Leeds United form in the middle of a survival battle would be reckless.
