West Bromwich Albion are said to be keen on Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

Leeds United must fend off all interest in Kalvin Phillips, after the youngster was linked to West Bromwich Albion.

The Sun on Sunday (09/12, page 57) claim that West Brom want Phillips, but Leeds should not be willing to listen to any offers.

Phillips has arguably been Leeds best performer this season, with the 23-year-old massively improving under Marcelo Bielsa’s management.

West Brom are now said to have taken note of Phillips’ performances, and could make a move if they are promoted and Leeds are not.

But, regardless of the outcome this season, Leeds should not entertain any offers for Phillips.

Leeds will obviously hope that they are promoted, so West Brom’s interest in Phillips never materialises into anything more concrete.

However, even if it does, Leeds would be wise to reject any offers for the versatile midfielder.

Phillips is a player that Bielsa needs to build his team around, and whatever bid West Brom make should not be enough to make Leeds accept it.
