Leeds United are on the hunt for a replacement for key holding midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who agreed a £42million move to Premier League champions Manchester City last week.
Phillips, who has spent the past 12 years at Elland Road after breaking through the club’s academy, is close to finalising his move to the Etihad Stadium and it will leave Whites boss Jesse Marsch with a major hole to fill in his midfield ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, where Leeds will want to improve on last season’s narrow escape of relegation.
Reports suggest that three players currently playing outside of England’s top-flight are on the shortlist for Marsch to sign in place of Phillips, one of which is currently plying his trade with one of Leeds’ Yorkshire rivals.
