Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips. Phillips underwent a medical on Friday after the two clubs reached an agreement over a deal worth in the region of £42 million seven days earlier.
The 26-year-old has put pen-to-paper on a six-year-deal at the Etihad Stadium and becomes Leeds’ highest ever sale, beating the previous club record set by Rio Ferdinand in 2002. Phillips departs Elland Road after making 234 appearances for his boyhood club and a Championship winners medal on his CV.
Leeds will now have a huge job on their hands replacing Phillips, who after Marcelo Bielsa’s arrival, has established himself as one of the club’s best players. Here is how Leeds supporters have reacted to his confirmed departure.
