Arsenal is one of the clubs monitoring the contract situation of Leeds United midfielder, Kalvin Phillips.
The England star is one of the finest players in his position in the Premier League and he starred for the Three Lions at Euro 2020.
The Whites know they have a top player on their hands and they have plans to extend his current deal.
However, those plans haven’t taken off yet and it could make them lose the player who is also a local.
90 Mins says his current deal doesn’t expire until 2024, but he has a lot of interested parties and one of them is Arsenal.
The Gunners have been rebuilding their squad and have added some impressive midfielders to their ranks in recent seasons.
However, Phillips will be a significant upgrade to some of their current options.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Adding Phillips to our squad amidst interest from several other top clubs will represent a significant upgrade to our options.
The midfielder has grown so much in recent seasons and will be a solid midfield partner for Thomas Partey.
However, this transfer would be easier said than done, not just because he has other suitors.
The midfielder might also struggle to leave his hometown club.
I would like to see him in our shirt for sure.
if its true is one thing, if its is and we can do it is another
The deal depends on two men only -Mikel and Kalvin. If both agree, it will happen. Isaak came to town, Mikel did not even bother just like he did not care for Icardi. Mikel wanted Dusan, but he did not bother. The opinions of the rest are irrelevant, so I trust Mikel, a very tough man to please.
To add to that, Mikel does not hide behind lame excuses, like no funds, talent not available , opposition are buying the league and what not.
This news made my day hope they make it happen.
Would be a very good signing but will be very expensive to prise away from Leeds. English tax and all that
Yea. To compliment the imminent departure of Xhaka. I can’t wait.
Phillip is a young DM with massive abilities in that role. I’m sure if MA make it a call, he’ll be with us next season…
Phillips would be a great addition to the team and his partnership with Partey would work wonders. But certainly it will be an expensive signing and we have to beat his many other suitors. If we are clearly interested in him than we must make the right moves at the right time otherwise it will be like Guimaraes whom we lost to Newcastle.
Would be the perfect partner for Partey !
Great player , no ego
