Aston Villa ahead of Man Utd for Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips
Aston Villa are favourites to sign Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
Phillips, whose season has been halted by injuries, has a contract with Leeds until 2024 but Villa have identified him as a 'key target' in their bid to crack a top six position in the Premier League.
The Times says the Midlands side are 'ready to pay £60million' for the 26-year-old and are prepared to offer an 'enormous salary'.
Phillips has also been linked with West Ham and Newcastle but it's thought Villa are leading the pack to land the player.
The report also claims there is admiration from Manchester United but a move to Old Trafford is seen as 'impossible' due to the rivalry with Leeds.
