Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to managing director Angus Kinnear’s comments about Kalvin Phillips.

Kinnear has told BBC Radio Leeds that Phillips deserves a new contract at Leeds, and that after having talks with his agent, agreement on fresh terms is “very close”.

The 23-year-old central midfielder was linked with moves away from Elland Road in the summer transfer window, with The Mirror crediting Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle United and Bournemouth with interest in the youngster.

Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to give their take that Phillips is set to be awarded a new contract.

Good decision from Leeds United?

Phillips is a very good player and is one of the best central midfielders in the Championship.

The 23-year-old is a key figure at Leeds and has improved a lot under head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

It would make sense for Leeds to hand the youngster a new contract and tie him down to a new contract.
