One in and one out! Manchester City's winter window or there is a big move to recruit, the coach loves to drive to waste wood to Tottenham?

Beijing time on October 11, the British "Daily Mail" broke the news that Manchester City, the reigning champion of the Premier League who has just suffered two consecutive defeats, hopes to strengthen the midfield in the winter window, Guardiola hopes to sign his favorite Kimmich during the Bayern coaching period, and the England international defender Karlwin Phillips, who was introduced for 45 million pounds last summer, is likely to be purged, and his next stop is likely to be the current Premier League leader Tottenham Hotspur.

In the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester City played at home to Nottingham Forest, and defender Rodri was suspended for three games with a red card, missing the subsequent games against Newcastle, Wolves and Arsenal. In these three games, Manchester City suffered defeat, without Rodri's sluggish midfield performance, and Phillips sat on the bench in the battle with the Gunners. It is clear that Guardiola has been completely disappointed with the 45 million he strongly signed.

However, despite the troubles at Manchester City, Phillips has no shortage of suitors, with numerous Premier League clubs looking to sign the 27-year-old and even Bundesliga side Bayern have asked Phillips this summer. According to FootballTransfers, Tottenham, who now lead the Premier League, remain interested in Phillips and hope to recruit him in the upcoming January transfer window.

The White Lilies have made an impressive start to the Premier League with six wins and two draws under new manager Postcoglu, but they are still looking to strengthen their squad, with Phillips one of their targets. As an England international, Phillips' personal ability is undoubted, although a little unsatisfactory in Pep Guardiola's tactical system, but in the more open Tottenham team, Phillips' technical characteristics may be better used. For Manchester City, it is also impossible to purge the player who has been reduced to waste. Of course, their only concern is that Tottenham, one of the best teams against Manchester City in the past few seasons, now leads the Premier League table, and sending Phillips to White Hart Lane. This is expected to make Manchester City hesitate.

Compared to Phillips, Kimmich's time at Bayern is not good either. There's no denying that the 28-year-old Kimmich is still a world-class midfielder, but the current discussion of his position and the myriad of off-field news have cast a shadow over Bayern's prospects. Thomas Tuchel has made it clear that he wants to sign a No.6 player, while Kimmich has always considered himself a No.6. But his core play, relatively weak shooting ability and not-so-strong physicality have been infinitely amplified in both seasons, especially since Thomas Tuchel's arrival.

In this case, Kimmich's move to Manchester City may be a good choice, after he was successfully transformed by Pep Guardiola, from full-back to world-class defender. When it comes to the German international's technical characteristics, no one knows better than Pep Guardiola. If he comes to the Etihad Stadium, Kimmich's personal skills, attacking and defensive pivotal role, ability to read the game, broad vision and passing will be fully utilized, and his lack of fitness will be perfectly compensated for by Rodri's Manchester City midfield.
