Agent and former Leeds United defender Kevin Sharp is threatening to sue Stellar Football for breach of contract after losing client Kalvin Phillips to them last summer.

Sharp claims Stellar induced Phillips to breach his contract, says the Daily Mail, ahead of his £44million move to Manchester City in July.

But it's claimed the England midfielder gave notice of his intention to leave Sharp's Palm Sports Management in January following the collapse of proposed transfers to Aston Villa and Newcastle.

Phillips did not sign a contract with Stellar until after he returned from England's Nations League fixtures in June so the agency are confident of winning any legal case, claims the Daily Mail.
