Kalvin Phillips has signed a new Leeds United contract and fans are predictably overjoyed with the announcement which was made this afternoon.
The 23-year-old has committed to another five years at Elland Road after the Whites rejected several offers from Premier League clubs for their prized asset.
Marcelo Bielsa has made no secret of his admiration for Phillips and how important he is to the team’s tactical set-up.
In a statement, the club said: “Over the course of the summer transfer window, Phillips was subject to high profile interest from a number of Premier League sides, with the club rebuffing multiple offers in excess of £20m.
“The club maintained throughout that Phillips would not be sold, with the midfielder being integral to plans for the future, with the immediate goal of securing top flight football.
“As a club, we are thrilled that Kalvin shares the same vision and potential for Leeds United, which has been demonstrated by committing his long term future to the Whites.”
