Premier League winner willing to join Leeds after promotion | OneFootball

Leeds United are being tipped to pull off an exciting big-name signing for life back in the Premier League next season.

Daniel Farke’s side narrowly missed out on promotion last season, but are now celebrating heading back to the top flight for the 2025/26 campaign.

As a result, it looks like Leeds will be able to lure some exciting targets to Elland Road this summer.

According to latest reports, one of those will be their former player Kalvin Phillips, who will surely be leaving Manchester City this summer.

The 29-year-old has struggled since leaving Leeds, having flopped at Man City, as well as during loan spells at West Ham and Ipswich.

Phillips could do well to return to Leeds, with former Premier League scout Mick Brown discussing his future with Football Insider.

“To me, he’s a Leeds United player, he suits the club and he’s comfortable playing there, the fans love him and he feels at home there,” Brown said.

“That’s why he’s struggled since the move away, so a return would make a lot of sense. We’ve seen similar before with Wilfried Zaha at Crystal Palace, some players suit certain clubs, they get the backing from the fans and it allows them to perform beyond their usual standard.”

Leeds will also surely need other quality signings to help them in their fight to stay in the Premier League next season, or else they’ll surely be at risk of going straight back down.
