Arsenal linked with big-money move for Kalvin Phillips

Leeds United star Kalvin Phillips has caught the eye in the Championship this season, helping the Whites to the top of the table. 

The 24-year-old, who was wanted by Aston Villa over the summer, has been influential in front of the back and has now appeared to catch the eye of Arsenal officials.

According to the Daily Mail, both the Gunners and Manchester United are now interested in Phillips and could move for the player in the near future. 

Phillips signed a new Leeds contract earlier in the season and reports suggest that the Whites could demand up to £40m for his services.

A potential move for Phillips would probably only materialise if Leeds fail to secure promotion back to the Premier League. 

The midfielder looks ready to ply his trade in the top flight, and if Marcelo Bielsa’s side earn promotion, we expect Phillips to remain with his boyhood club.

However, if they don’t, and Mikel Arteta is in the market for a new holding midfielder, then who knows, we could see. the Gunners make their move for the Leeds ace.
