Leeds star Kalvin Phillips is ‘being circled’ by top football agents amid shock Man Utd and Real Madrid transfer links
LEEDS star Kalvin Phillips is being courted by the world’s top football agents, according to reports.
The England star, 26, is currently represented by former Elland Road defender Kevin Sharp.

His deal with Sharp, however, is set to expire at the end of the season – leading to plenty of interest from the world’s super agents.
According to the Mail, Sharp is ‘confident’ that Phillips will keep him onboard.
He is understood to feel that his input and support down the years is valued enough by the 26-year-old for him to want to retain his services.
Manchester United and Real Madrid have both been linked with transfer moves for Phillips.
While West Ham also ambitiously tried to recruit the midfielder in January.
Phillips will have two years remaining on his Elland Road at the end of the season.

The homegrown star was rocked by news of Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United sacking yesterday.
In tribute to the Argentine, Phillips wrote: “Thank you Marcelo for everything you have done for me.
“You saw in me what I didn’t even see in myself. You helped me grow as a player but most importantly as a person.
“Wishing you all the best in your next chapter.
“Gracias Marcelo Vamos Leeds Carajo!!”
Phillips has not played since Leeds’ 2-2 draw with Brentford on December 5, having suffered with a hamstring injury.
