Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites set to face Nat Phillips competition

Here are your Leeds United transfer rumours on Wednesday, July 5.

Leeds United face Nat Phillips competition

Dutch side Feyenoord have thrown their hat into the ring for Liverpool defender Nat Phillips, following news last week that Leeds United were interested in signing the 26-year-old.

The Athletic report that negotiations are not yet open, but the lure of Champions League, rather than Championship football, make it an attractive proposition for the centre-back.

The 25-year-old scored 21 goals last season to help fire Coventry to the Championship play-off final but it was always thought his future would lie away from the Midlands this season if they did not win promotion to the Premier League.
