According to The Athletic’s Leeds United writer Phil Hay, Whites midfielder Kalvin Phillips is expected to put pen to paper at Elland Road tomorrow for a new five-year contract with the club.
The 23-year-old will earn around £20,000-per-week, and manager Marcelo Bielsa will be delighted his star player has finally agreed to put pen to paper for a new deal following months of negotiations.
Aston Villa and Burnley were keen to lure Phillips away from the Championship to the Premier League, but Leeds knocked back the recently-promoted side’s verbal offer of about £15 million as it didn’t meet their asking price which was more than £20 million.
