Liverpool reportedly could consider making a move for out-of-favour Manchester City star Kalvin Phillips in January.

AHEAD OF TIME? The 27-year-old midfielder, who has made just five appearances for the Cityzens this season, is allegedly thinking of leaving the squad in January to pursue a regular spot in the starting lineup.

Liverpool has suddenly surfaced as an unlikely transfer suitor for the English international, according to the Mirror, and they may try to sign him in January.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: It has been rumored that the Reds were considering signing the City misfit during the summer transfer window, but they never made an official approach. Rather, they bolstered their midfield with players like Ryan Gravenberch, Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Alex Mac Allister.

WHAT NEXT? Other than Jurgen Klopp’s side, Bayern Munich and Newcastle United are also keeping an eye on Phillips’ situation and could make an offer in the upcoming transfer window.
