Kalvin Phillips transfer latest: Huge bid expected as Leeds legend explains why Man City move will suit star

Manchester City are reportedly preparing to make their opening Kalvin Phillips transfer move next week in a bid to prise the star away from Leeds United.

The homegrown star is one of Leeds’ biggest assets, having come through their academy to become an established England international. He has impressed throughout Leeds’ last two seasons in the Premier League, though his long injury absence saw the Whites skate dangerously close to relegation.

But with Leeds now safe, focus now turns to the club’s transfer business for the summer window. And despite a number of incomings expected, it will be their potential outgoings which will concern supporters the most.

Another star man, Raphinha, is also garnering serious transfer interest with Barcelona strongly linked. However, with their finances in a mess, that deal is not likely to reach a conclusion any time soon.
