Gary Lineker makes Kalvin Phillips 'progress' hint after Leeds United agree transfer fee with Man City

Pundit Gary Lineker has tipped Kalvin Phillips to improve under Pep Guardiola after Leeds United reached a transfer fee with Manchester City.

News broke on Friday afternoon of City and United agreeing to a £42million deal with add-ons for Phillips, ending his 10-plus year association with his hometown club. According to The Athletic, Darko Gyabi, an 18-year-old midfielder at City, is expected to join United in a separate deal.

With two years left on his Elland Road contract, the 26-year-old will be joining the reigning Premier League champions and will get his first taste of UEFA Champions League football under one of the best manager's not just in England but in the world. And former England international Linekar believes Phillips can improve even further.
