Kalvin Phillips has been one of Leeds’ stand-out performers this season.
Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips is known for his happy-go-lucky persona and he has posted just another example of it on Instagram in the form of two videos.
The clips show the 22-year-old midfielder nutmegging two of his Leeds United teammates in training on Wednesday, as Thomas Christiansen prepares his side for Saturday’s clash against a struggling Hull City side.
The Whites come into Saturday’s match in good form after winning three of their last four games as well as drawing against fellow promotion rivals Aston Villa at Elland Road.
The first video shows Phillips drag the ball back before flicking it through Gjanni Alioski’s legs, while the second clip shows the academy graduate chasing after a loose ball and rolling it under another Leeds star.
Phillips is expected to start for Leeds on Saturday as he has established himself as Christiansen’s first choice central midfielder this summer, ahead of Eunan O’Kane, Ronaldo Vieira and Mateusz Klich.
Leeds’ number 23 has had a hand in seven goals for his boyhood club this season during his 21 Championship appearances, scoring five and creating two as assists.
He will be hoping to add to that tally on Saturday against Hull, with three points enough to take Leeds into the top six of the Championship as Sheffield United and Aston Villa face eachother.
