Man City challenge Man Utd for Leeds midfielder Phillips

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is eyeing Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

The Sun says Phillips shone for Marcelo Bielsa's side on their return to the Premier League last season and soon broke into Gareth Southgate's England squad.

The 25-year-old then starred as the Three Lions made it all the way to the final of Euro 2020, eventually getting beat on penalties by Italy.

Now Guardiola is said to want him marshalling City's midfield - although they face stiff competition for his signature.

Man United and Tottenham are both believed to be keen on the ace.

And the Red Devils are said to be ready to launch a £59m bid for Phillips.
