Leeds United fans have breathed a sigh of relief this summer after they saw the club holding on to their key midfielder Kalvin Phillips despite interests from Premier League clubs.
The 23-year-old is the heartbeat of the side and has progressed leaps and bounds under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road.
Leeds reportedly turned down an offer from newly-promoted Premier League side Aston Villa this summer, and it looks like Phillips is going to extend his stay at the club.
Kevin Sharp, the agent of Phillips, has been quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post, as saying that talks between himself and the Leeds United board are looking “very promising”, and that a new deal for the midfielder is getting closer.
