Leeds are planning for Kalvin Phillips’ likely switch to Manchester City by moving for RB Leipzig’s Tyler Adams.
USA international Adams is a holding midfielder and would help plug the gap should Phillips leave his beloved Elland Road for City. Leeds have already signed Marc Roca from Bayern Munich and attacking midfielder Brenden Aaronson from Red Bull Salzburg and targeting Adams is a clear sign that they fear losing Phillips.
Leeds are braced for a bid from the champions for their England midfielder and know it would be hard for him to turn down a move to the Etihad if the Blues meet their asking price. The Whites value Phillips, who has two years left on his Elland Road deal, at £60million.
