TV pundit Danny Mills has insisted his former side Leeds United must go about their summer recruitment in the correct way in order to counterbalance the departures of both Kalvin Phillips and potentially Raphinha too. With Phillips move to Manchester City almost seemingly confirmed over the past 48 hours, fellow starlet Raphinha could also be heading for the Elland Road exit door, with Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea said to be monitoring his situation.
Likely to receive over £100m in transfer fees for both players, Mills insists Leeds must go about their business in the correct way in order to stand any chance of improving on last seasons 17th placed finish.
"Having the money is one thing but finding the players that you want is very very difficult," began the 45-year-old, when speaking to Sky Sports News. "Getting those players through the door is very very difficult and getting them to hit the ground running and to perform at that level is even harder. You are always better keeping what you have got, if possible, but with Raphinha this now will probably lead to him wanting away even more.
