Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation about a £20 million bid for Leeds United central midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

According to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 59, June 30, 2019), Villa – who will play in the Premier League next season after clinching promotion from the Championship via the playoffs – are prepared to pay £20m to Championship club Leeds in order to secure the services of Phillips (click here to read more).

The British tabloid has claimed that the West Yorkshire outfit have rejected previous bids from the Villans for the 23-year-old, who also operate as a central midfielder on occasions last season.

Worth £20 million?

Phillips is a very good central midfielder who is one of the best players in the Championship, and the 23-year-old would be a good signing for Villa in the summer transfer window.

The reported transfer fee of £20m does appear to be quite a lot, but it could all be worth it in the coming years for Villa.
