Leeds United have shown an interest in taking Manchester City youngster Romeo Lavia to Elland Road, according to reports. The Athletic claim that Leeds are keeping an eye on Lavia, with Southampton also looking at the 18-year-old defensive midfielder.
City are keen to keep hold of Lavia as he continues his development through the ranks at the Etihad Stadium. However, the report suggests they could consider using him to sweeten any deal for Leeds' Kalvin Phillips.
The Premier League champions have been linked with a move for Phillips for some time, after identifying him as a potential replacement for Fernandinho, who left the Etihad Stadium at the of the season. And, although, Leeds Live reported yesterday that no official offer had been made, the speculation surrounding the England international is beginning to gather pace.
