Kalvin Phillips puts Leeds United extension talks on hold as he looks to change agents
Kalvin Phillips has put any extension talks at Leeds United on hold until the summer, according to the Daily Mail.
It is understood that he is in the process of changing agents as his current representation ends at the end of the season.
However, that has not deterred his stance and he is still keen on committing his future to the club.
However, the Whites will still be sweating over the future of Phillips.
Usually, when players want to change agents, it’s down to the fact that they’re looking for a big move in the future.
Phillips may one day think of leaving Leeds as he could have aspirations for playing in the Champions League.
He could also want to challenge for trophies so it makes sense for him to move to clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
However, the calibre of clubs interested in him do not fit into either bracket so he may want to stay for another season at the very least.
West Ham, Aston Villa and Newcastle are believed to be keen on his services and that’s not where he should ideally be.
He’s the kind of player who would improve most teams in the world and Leeds are undoubtedly lucky to have him among their ranks.
He’s a Yorkshire lad and has a special connection with the Elland Road faithful as well.
The next few weeks are key in terms of Phillips’ future at the club.
Should the Whites suddenly take a dip and get ever so close to the relegation zone, he may consider jumping ship in the summer.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites are leading the race to complete a major signing and have already opened talks to seal a £25m deal.
