Former Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips is reportedly keen on a return to his boyhood club after struggling for form and playing time since leaving for Manchester City in 2022. Phillips, 28, moved to City for £42 million but failed to establish himself under Pep Guardiola. He was loaned to West Ham United in January 2024, where he struggled with form and discipline. A subsequent loan to Ipswich Town helped him regain confidence, and he has now expressed interest in a permanent move back to Elland Road.
Reports suggest Phillips sees a return to Leeds as the best way to revive his career, especially if the club secures Premier League promotion. Leeds have been monitoring his performances at Ipswich, indicating potential interest in re-signing him. However, financial factors could complicate the transfer, as Manchester City would likely demand a significant fee.
Former Manchester United and Blackburn scout Mick Brown confirmed that Phillips is eager to rejoin Leeds, believing the move would help him rediscover his best form. While his return remains uncertain, Leeds fans will be eager to welcome back the midfielder who was instrumental in their 2020 promotion camp
