Kalvin Phillips now moves into evens to sign for Crystal Palace in the January window
Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips could well leave the club this January with bookmakers continuing to offer odds on his potential next club.
Phillips has had a difficult spell at City since joining them from Leeds United back in July 2022 with just 16 appearances made in the Premier League in that time.
The English midfielder has yet to start a Premier League game this season and he'll be looking for more game time ahead of this summer's Euro 2024 tournament.
Crystal Palace are now the favourites to sign Phillips after their manager Roy Hodgson threw his hat into the ring for the midfielder in his press conference yesterday.
Paddy Power say there's a 50% chance that Palace sign Phillips with Hodgson saying that the midfielder is a "good player" ahead of a possible loan move.
| Kalvin Phillips Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal Palace | 1/1 | 50.0% |
| Newcastle | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| West Ham | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Juventus | 11/2 | 15.4% |
What the expert says...
Phillips had previously been favourite to join Newcastle with the Toon looking for strength-in-depth
Newcastle had previously been the betting favourites to sign Kalvin Phillips in the January window with Eddie Howe looking to bolster his squad.
The Toon have been left without massive strength-in-depth following Sandro Tonali's ban and injuries to other midfielders in the squad.
Now though they've since drifted slightly in the market to second favourites, with their latest odds suggesting a 40% implied probability he heads to Newcastle this month.

Manchester City favourites to win their fourth consecutive Premier League title
Manchester City are the odds-on favourites to win the league this season after they came back from behind to beat Newcastle 3-2 on Saturday.
Kevin De Bruyne returned from injury to make an impressive cameo where he scored and assisted Oscar Bobb's injury time winner to win all three points.
Bookmakers have shortened their odds into 4/7 to win the league with those odds putting them ahead of Liverpool in the betting market.
| Premier League Winner 23/24 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Manchester City | 4/7 | 63.6% |
| Liverpool | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Arsenal | 15/2 | 11.8% |
| Aston Villa | 40/1 | 2.4% |
| Tottenham | 40/1 | 2.4% |
