Newcastle United could line-up with a new look £140million midfield, if they land one of the Premier League's most in demand holding midfielders. The Magpies have been linked with a move for Leeds United academy graduate Kalvin Phillips, who has been one of the standout figures for the Whites since their promotion to the Championship.
The Toon are not alone in their so-called admiration for the midfielder, with Aston Villa linked with a £60million move for Phillips in the summer transfer window. The England international has emerged as an integral part to Gareth Southgate's Three Lions set-up and has attracted the attention of Manchester United and Liverpool in the past.
Recent reports claim Phillips could be in line for a £120,000 contract offer, if Eddie Howe's side are able to agree a fee with the Whites come the summer. The 26-year-old is currently on £25,000 a week at Elland Road and the lure of a sizeable contract may prove tempting for the deep-lying midfielder.
