Leeds United News: Premier League club Southampton are reportedly eyeing a move for Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips. (h/t Daily Echo UK)

The 23-year-old’s contract is due to expire this summer and the Saints are willing to get his services for a value of £20m. (h/t Daily Echo UK)

Phillips- a substantial player for Leeds

Phillips has become an integral part of the Whites over the years.

Having progressed through the youth ranks of the Elland Road club, the English midfielder soon found himself as a regular in the main team.

He has made more than 100 appearances for the Peacocks so far.

As far as this season is concerned, Marcelo Bielsa has altered Phillips’ position as a deep-lying pivot in a 4-1-4-1 formation. He also can play as a centre-back.

Phillips scored a crucial injury-time equalizer against Middlesbrough, helping his side to avoid a defeat.

Phillips’ departure- whether a blow for Leeds?

The 23-year-old has been pivotal in Whites’ promotion push this season. He has bagged a goal and three assists in over 40 appearances and hardly missed a game.

Given that Leeds are in pole position to play in the Premier League next season, this is not the right moment to miss out on a key player.

And finding a player who could fill the void of Phillips will be difficult for the Argentine manager.

Difficulties for Southampton in signing Phillips

The Whites are set to hold talks with some of their key players; namely, Phillips, Kemar Roofe and Jack Clarke, regarding their contract extensions. This could really hinder the Saints in pursuing the midfielder.

Bielsa’s men will be playing Wigan Athletic in their next Championship fixture at Elland Road.
