Ian Poveda has sent a three-word message to Kalvin Phillips after the £50 million-rated Leeds man uploaded a post on Instagram.
The England international posted a photo of a mural depicting himself, which is being painted onto the side of a building in Leeds to commemorate Phillips’ influence around the city.
After seeing what his teammate posted, Poveda wrote: ‘What a guy 😍😍😍’
Ex-Leeds full-back Barry Douglas, who left for Blackburn in the last transfer window, also took the time to comment on Phillips’ post.
The Scot simply replied with three emojis: ‘😍🔥💙’
It should come as a real honour for Phillips to see a mural of himself created in Leeds.
It is something that only a player or manager who has done wonders for their club tends to have created for them.
Liverpool academy graduate Trent Alexander-Arnold has his own on Merseyside, while Marcelo Bielsa also has one!
What Phillips has achieved at Elland Road has been nothing short of exceptional.
After breaking through the academy, the 24-year-old has racked up 186 appearances for the club, helping them earn promotion to the Premier League as champions of the Championship last season.
If any Leeds player deserves to have a portrait of themselves created in the city, then it’s certainly Phillips.
