Report Reveals Transfer Update as Leeds Consider Kalvin Phillips’ Return

Leeds United, following a stunning comeback victory against Championship leaders Leicester City, now find themselves second in the standings on goal difference, trailing the Foxes by just six points in the title race. With their sights set on a return to the Premier League at the first attempt, reports indicate that the Yorkshire club may be considering a surprising move in the upcoming transfer window.

As the summer transfer window looms, speculation has already begun swirling, with Leeds being linked to potential signings such as Kilmarnock youngster Bobby Wales and Udinese wing-back Festy Ebosele. These prospective deals could bolster Daniel Farke’s squad for the long term.

On the pitch, recent attention has been focused on the resurgence of Wilfried Gnonto. The young winger appeared poised to depart during both the summer and January transfer windows, with West Ham United reportedly showing interest, but no move materialized. Since staying put, Gnonto has finally displayed glimpses of his top form, notching three goals in his last three matches.

This resurgence at Elland Road may catch the eye of others, including Kalvin Phillips. According to Wayne Veysey of Football Insider, Phillips is a top priority for both the 49ers and Leeds, with plans to secure his permanent return this summer if promotion is achieved. Currently on loan at West Ham, Phillips has struggled to recapture the form that earned him a move to Manchester City in the past.
