If Leeds United is promoted back to the Premier League, they will be eager to get Kalvin Phillips back to the team during the summer
transfer window.
Leeds United’s prospects of becoming promoted
The Whites’ thrilling comeback victory over league leaders Leicester City on Friday night keeps them in second place in the standings.
Even though the Foxes were unfairly denied a goal that would have put them ahead 2-0, Daniel Farke’s team displayed a great deal of
character to win the three points.
Leeds already has nine straight victories, which is an incredible accomplishment for them this early in the season. They will be hoping
that this momentum can carry them over the finish line in
Leeds United is considering Kalvin Phillips.
Without a doubt, the Elland Road recruitment team is preparing for both scenarios as they compile lists of possible candidates ahead
of their respective divisions.
And if they are a top-tier team, they will work on a deal to get Phillips back to his childhood team, according to Football Insider.
If Leeds United is promoted back to the Premier League this summer, they will be looking to sign Kalvin Phillips on a long-term
contract.
“A midfield kingpin will be among the Yorkshire club’s top priorities if they return to the top flight, and they are expected to spend
heavily in the summer transfer window.”
“In January, Phillips signed a six-month loan with West Ham, but Leeds anticipates that the England international will return to
Manchester City at the end of the campaign and be acquired on a permanent basis.” Leeds, among others, may present a challenge to
West Ham in the quest for the 28-year-old.His £140,000 weekly pay may be a barrier, although Leeds made significant expenditures
in the past when they were in the top division and paid players like Rodrigo Moreno salaries above £100,000 per week.
Without question, Phillips’ life has not gone as planned since leaving Leeds, and Pep Guardiola did not share the midfielder’s
enthusiasm for City.
The early stages of the
At 28, Phillips ought to be at the top of his game, but the last few years haven’t been easy, and it’s likely that this has made him even
more grateful for Leeds.
This link isn’t a huge surprise; if Leeds ascend, it would seem to make sense for all parties for him to return to the club he loves.
It would be a good addition in that regard because Phillips, crucially, would be a huge upgrade over the present midfield if he could
play anywhere close to the level he did under Marcelo Bielsa.
Phillips may prioritize Euro 2024 before everything else, but if Leeds improves, this is undoubtedly something that might occur during
the summer transfer window.
