According to Sky, Philips underwent his medicals in Manchester on Friday.

On Sunday, the midfielder who made his England debut this year posted a series of photos on his Instagram page, on his holiday in Kenya with his beautiful girlfriend Ashleigh Behan.

"The past two weeks we travelled to Kenya on a Safari which was an experience I don't think we will ever be able to top!! Me & @ashhhbx absolutely love animals so having the chance to do our best David Attenborough is something we won't ever forget 🤣 seeing these animals in the wild was unreal! 🇰🇪🦒🐘," Philips posted on his Instagram page.

He was at the Finch Hattons Luxury Camp located in Tsavo.

A Kenyan Twitter user Vincent Ouma Oloo also posted a photo with the soon to be Manchester City midfielder who has been drafted in by Pep Guardiola to replace Brazilian Fernandinho who has returned to his native home to conclude his career.
