Marcelo Bielsa comments on Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has suggested that it is hard to find a player similar to Kalvin Phillips, but he has options at his disposal who can fill his role.

Philips has played all the three games for Leeds this season, and has turned into an unsung hero for the club. The 22-year-old brings steel in the middle of the park, providing a safety belt for the back four. Bielsa is also impressed with his fantastic passing range.

The Argentine feels that one player who can do a good job in the midfield is Adam Forshaw who joined Leeds from Championship rivals Middlesbrough in the January transfer window.
