Wolves are considered serious contenders to offer Kalvin Phillips an opportunity to play in the Premier League this month, exploring a loan deal as Rob Edwards seeks reinforcements for the club's effort to avoid relegation. Currently, Wolves are a much more likely destination for Phillips than Leeds.

Reports suggest that Kalvin Phillips could be among the first players to depart Manchester City during the January transfer window. Journalist Liam Keen confirmed that Wolverhampton Wanderers had considered signing the midfielder in the summer. Phillips has also been linked with a return to Leeds and a move to Everton, and he has a contract with his parent club until 2028.
