Leeds United are now ready to make a move to sign a “tremendous” defender if they seal promotion to the Premier League, according to a recent reportThe Whites have eight games remaining to seal their place in next season’s Premier League. Given how well they have played up until now, it is expected that Daniel Farke’s side will go all the way and secure promotion despite the understandable trepidation from fans.If they do, this summer is expected to be a busy time for the Yorkshire side, as they are already being linked with moves for several new midfielders.
Indeed, Farke has his eyes on strengthening an engine room that has had its injury problems this season. According to Graeme Bailey via Leeds United News, Leeds are plotting to sign Kalvin Phillips on loan from Manchester City this summer after his current loan spell at Ipswich Town comes to an end.The Tractor Boys look unlikely to make the midfielder’s move to Portman Road into a permanent switch, while Pep Guardiola doesn’t have the Englishman featuring in his plans going forward. Therefore, he could be on the move again this summer, and Leeds want to re-sign their former midfielder. It is claimed his wages would be a stumbling block in a permanent return to Elland Road, so the Whites are looking to strike a loan deal instead
