Leeds United could see another of their star players taken away from Elland Road this summer.
Bournemouth’s interest in Kalvin Phillips presents Leeds United supporters with the nightmare scenario of potentially having to watch Lewis Cook and Phillips play alongside each other, but for a different club.
The Daily Mail claim that Bournemouth want to buy Phillips from Leeds this summer.
Eddie Howe’s side’s interest is still at an early stage, but if they do manage to complete a deal it could really hurt Leeds fans.
Cook left Leeds for Bournemouth back in 2016, and he has gone on to impress in the Premier League – even earning an England call-up last year.
Leeds have similarly high hopes for Phillips as they did Cook, but they are now facing a fight to keep hold of their star man.
Phillips has enjoyed a brilliant campaign for the Whites, with top level clubs now queuing up to take him.
If Leeds do lose Phillips then it will hurt their supporters wherever he ends up.
However, it could be even worse if Phillips moves to Bournemouth, as having to watch him play with Cook in the Premier League would really sting.
