According to journalist Phil Hay, who has just left his role with The Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United have opened contract talks with Kalvin Phillips.
The 23-year-old came through the youth system at Elland Road and has made 141 appearances for the club in all competitions.
The midfielder enjoyed a strong 2018-19 campaign for the Whites – scoring once and providing three assists in 46 appearances in all competitions.
Aston Villa have been linked with a swoop for the Englishman this summer as Dean Smith’s side prepare for life in the Premier League.
However, according to Hay, Leeds have opened contact talks with Phillips over a deal which would place him among the high earners at the club.
As expected, a number of Leeds supporters have been on social media offering their views on the update from the well-placed journalist and many are absolutely delighted with the latest update on the ‘Yorkshire Pirlo’.
