Patrick Bamford has admitted that the players at Leeds United were “pushing” Kalvin Phillips to make the move to Manchester City to pursue his ambition of winning silverware.
Phillips ended his Leeds journey, which started over 12 years ago when he joined the club’s academy at 14 years old, by making the £45m switch to the Premier League champions this summer.
The 26-year-old progressed through the ranks and went on to make over 200 appearances for the Whites after signing his first professional deal in 2014, and quickly became a local hero for his efforts in helping the club regain its Premier League status after 16 years in the Football League.
