Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson has questioned the Whites’ recruitment strategy amid the recent links to Swansea City midfielder Flynn Downes. Downes is reportedly on a list of potential replacements for Kalvin Phillips if he leaves Elland Road this summer.
Phillips has been linked with a whole host of clubs in recent months, including the likes Aston Villa and West Ham United, with Leeds yet to agree a new contract for the 26-year-old. The England international is said to be keen on remaining at his boyhood club but Victor Orta and co have drawn up a contingency plan for if he does depart.
And according to a report in The Times, Swansea midfielder Downes is someone that Leeds are considering as a potential summer target. Despite his decent season with the Swans in the Championship, though, Robinson believes his former side have to start targeting better players if they want to progress.
