Leeds United have reportedly held direct contract with Red Bull Salzburg over signing a replacement for midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who is set to join Manchester City.
Last week, reports suggested that Phillips has agreed to join Pep Guardiola’s side in a deal worth £42million, which would put an end to the midfielder’s 12-year stay at Elland Road, having come through the club’s youth academy.
With Phillips an England international and one of Jesse Marsch’s side’s key players, the Whites will be keen to sign a replacement fast and reports suggest that Leeds are making strides towards signing a replacement.
