Romeo Lavia profiled as Manchester City midfield prospect linked to Leeds United

Manchester City's pursuit of Kalvin Phillips appears to be one of the most high profile transfer stories this summer. It is said that the Champions see the Leeds United star as the ideal replacement for the departing Fernandinho and are prepared to pay £60million to secure his signature, as the Whites would want to secure as big a fee as possible for their hometown hero.

It is said that the Whites are battling Southampton for the youngster but it could be the case that the player could be included as part of the deal to bring Phillips to the Etihad.
