Leeds in negotiations to sign Premier League class playmaker
With five games remaining in the Championship, Leeds United is in the running to be promoted to the Premier League automatically.
Even though Leicester City leads the league and has a game in hand, Daniel Farke’s team is presently only two points behind them in third place.
All three teams are fighting for the two spots that would guarantee that the play-off lottery would not be necessary, with Ipswich Town being caught in the middle.
Leeds want Kalvin Phillips return
This promotion pursuit is becoming one of the best in recent memory, and the Elland Road team’s persistence is a credit to the manager’s skill at this level, especially considering what Farke and the new owners had to cope with at the beginning of the season.
The fact that the club is already in talks with players, one of whom has a history with the club, won’t come as a surprise given that the assumption, not the hope, is that they will soon be back where they belong.
The team is in talks with 28-year-old Kalvin Phillips, who is now on loan at West Ham United, according to Sports Zone via X (previously Twitter).
The England international’s ordeal began when he left Leeds.
Pep Guardiola seemed to concede that, having signed Phillips, he had signed the wrong player because, well, he didn’t know what he was getting into.
The player was consequently forced to miss months of play.
Any hopes of playing for his country have been dashed by a red card, careless errors that have resulted in two goals, and an overall attitude that suggests he is not at all content with his situation.
The good news is that if he can return to the all-whites for the summer, that will be something
