Leeds chief Kinnear: We want Phillips to grow with us

Leeds United chief Angus Kinnear insists no offers have arrived for Kalvin Phillips.

The 25-year-old was linked with a move away from Elland Road during Euro 2020.

But Kinnear said, “Our job is making sure all the players feel wanted and valued and they can grow at Leeds United.

“Kalvin is a long-term pillar for the club. We'll work with him and his representatives to make sure he feels valued and motivated and wants to be at Leeds United.

“At the moment he's got three years on his contract.

“It's a healthy contract and we don't need to rush into any of these things. But we defend interest in our players very vigorously in the market place.

“This summer we've received a number of firm expressions of interest and some offers for players that would be perceived as our marquee talent.

“None of them have been entertained, no discussions or negotiations have taken place."
