Man City plan formal Leeds approach for Phillips

Manchester City are preparing an approach for Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

Phillips is currently on international duty but limped off injured during last night's 1-1 Nations League draw in Germany.

The Sun says City will formally approach Leeds about a price once Phillips has finished his England duty later this month.

City boss Pep Guardiola is seeking a replacement for veteran Fernandinho following the Brazilian's departure after nine years at the Etihad.

City know they face stiff competition for the England international, with West Ham failing with a £50m offer in January.
