Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that reported Aston Villa target Kalvin Phillips has been offered a new contract.

According to BBC Radio Leeds journalist Adam Pope, Leeds have made an offer to Phillips amid interest from Villa.

According to The Birmingham Mail, the Villans – who will play in the Premier League next season after clinching promotion from the Championship via the playoffs – are interested in securing the services of the central midfielder in the summer transfer window.

Leeds fans have responded to the club’s reported attempt to keep hold of the 23-year-old, who also operated as a central defender at times last season.

Leeds United stay

One can understand the temptation to join Villa and be part of a very good and ambitious team, but at this stage of his career, it would be better for Phillips if he stays at Leeds.

Under Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa, Phillips improved and developed a lot last season, and the 23-year-old is going to do so next season if he stays at Elland Road.
