Leeds boss Jesse Marsch has plans of a new role for Kalvin Phillips.

Under old boss Marcelo Bielsa, Phillips played as the defensive midfielder in a 4-1-4-1 formation but Marsch expects him to reprise the slightly more advanced role he operates for England in his new-look system.

"We had a good conversation about it and he said that actually it's not that dissimilar from what they do with the national team," said Marsch.

"He plays a lot in there with Declan Rice and they share a lot of responsibilities as a double six.

"He is an intelligent guy so I think he'll be able to adjust relatively quickly. The goal with all the players is to help them develop.

"Kalvin, as good as he is, has room as a leader to grow. I am really excited to get him on the pitch."
