Leeds United ace Kalvin Phillips expected to join Manchester City on July 1
Kalvin Phillips will reportedly complete his Leeds United exit to join Manchester City on Friday, July 1.
According to the Daily Mail, the England international will be one of two high-profile departures this summer with Raphinha being the other one.
Leeds will be making north of £100million from the sales of the two players while Phillips is expected to be announced in two days.
Summer of change
The Whites knew that once the window opened their players were going to be hot property in the market and both their main assets will now be leaving.
Despite having an injury-ravaged season, Phillips has commanded interest from the Premier League champions and will complete a move there very soon.
No Leeds fan will hold it against him and will be proud of him as he’s earned his move to the Etihad Stadium.
His performances since promotion have been exceptional and they’ve earned him plaudits as well as a spot in the England team.
We back him to be a success under Pep Guardiola and cannot wait to see the player he becomes under the Spaniard when he hits his prime.
It is going to be very important that Victor Orta quickly lines up replacements for both Phillips and Raphinha as they’re the two best players in the team.
The Leeds director may need to work overtime because time is never enough in the transfer window and ideally, they should be with the club before they play their first pre-season game.
In other Leeds United news, the club have now opened talks with an ‘Incredible’ title-winning central midfielder to replace Kalvin Phillips.
