Leeds United have re-opened contract talks with star man Kalvin Phillips, with the midfielder edging closer to a new £40,000-a-week deal.
Phillips, a lifelong Leeds fan and academy product, turned down an improved offer earlier in the summer at a time when he was being linked heavily with a move to the Premier League. Aston Villa were among the clubs interested.
However, with the window now shut, Marcelo Bielsa will be eager to secure the 23-year-old on a long-term deal, with Phillips, who has started all five Championship games thus far, already impressing again this season.
