Sagna likens Man City signing Phillips to France World Cup winner

Former Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna admits he's a big fan of Kalvin Phillips.

Phillips moved to City from Leeds this week.

Sagna told Lord Ping: "I think it's great for English football that City have signed him because they have the resources to sign anybody in that position.

"For me, it's always pleasing to see English players joining an English title-winning team.

"I'm delighted for him because he deserves the opportunity - he has been brilliant for Leeds and also for the national team.

"When I see him play, I think he is like an English version of N'Golo Kante."
