Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips was wanted by a couple of Premier League sides during the summer transfer window, but the club held on to their star player and handed him a new deal.

The 23-year-old will now hope to lead the Elland Road outfit to top-flight promotion at the end of the campaign after last season’s disappointment, but Sky Sports pundit Danny Higginbotham believes he will be in the Premier League next season with or without Leeds.

“He’s an exceptional talent.”
