When posed the question about potential players from relegated teams, ExWHUEmployee said that Phillips is certainly a possibility.
The insider had the following to say on the matter: “Well if Leeds drop then the standout for me is Kalvin Philips, a player we hold a keen interest in. I think someone of his calibre and the fact he plays with Rice in the England squad would be a real statement signing, not to mention an amazing pairing in our midfield.”
TIF thoughts on Kalvin Phillips transfer…
If Leeds do drop out of the Premier League then some of their better players such as Kalvin Phillips will certainly be available at a cheaper price than what they would have been if they stay up.
