The top-flight champions reportedly agreed a fee of £42m plus a further £3m in add-ons with Leeds in June but the player's holiday delayed the transfer. 

The England international underwent a medical at the club last week as he donned a City jacket for the occasion. 

Sportsmail reported that talks were expected to take place following England's Nations League fixtures and negotiations accelerated after Phillips changed agents. 

Gabriel Jesus's £45m departure from City to join Arsenal on a five-year deal was also confirmed on Monday. 

Sportsmail understands City have used the funds from the sale of the Brazilian to seal a move for Phillips.
