Former Leeds United winger Andros Townsend insists the £42 million transfer fee agreed between Leeds United and Manchester City for Kalvin Phillips is the ‘right amount’. After discovering that Phillips has only two years left on his Leeds contract, Townsend told talkSPORT on Monday morning that the move made ‘perfect sense’.
Leeds and Man City agree on Friday a deal that will see the England star make a move to the Premier League Champions, with Phillips still to have a medical and to complete the formalities of the contract.
“I would have said it was a bit cheap,” said Townsend. “But if you are right in saying he has two years left on his deal, then it makes perfect sense.
