Over the past month, hopes have risen that Leeds legend and one of Marcelo Bielsa’s key players is on his way back to Elland Road. Now there are new reports that make hope rise further.
For Leeds supporters, it has been a suffering to see the club’s big son crumble with Pep Guardiola. The City manager was early to apologize, he doesn’t really have a place for Phillips in the well-directed City machinery. Then came the statement that Phillips had become too fat during the World Cup finals in Qatar. Last summer, we almost begged Leeds to come to an agreement with City, where Phillips gets home and plays back to the creative and exuberant football genius he was at Elland Road. Now our football prayer can be heard.

Leeds are in charge of the Premier League this season, TEAMtalk claimed last month the club has received a verbal agreement to sign Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City if they are promoted to the Premier League.
Leeds scouts have recently been following Kalvin Phillips who is on loan at Ipswich this season. They like what they see, despite the fact that he plays for a club that is relegated from the Premier League.
Kalvin Phillips has a contract with Manchester City until 2028 has not had a good time at the Etihad. He has only made 16 appearances in the Premier League in two seasons, before being loaned out to West Ham and then to the Tractor Boys.
Getting Phillips home to Elland Road must give the former Leeds star a real boost, the same for the supporters, who can celebrate promotion by getting the club’s big son and creative power back in midfield in the white Leeds shirt.
