Report: Euro giants plan to keen a close eye on Leeds player after latest display – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Real Madrid are reportedly planning to monitor Leeds United midfielder, Kalvin Phillips.
England are off to a winning start in Euro 2020, after earning a 1-0 victory over Croatia on Sunday. Raheem Sterling scored the only goal of the match, with Phillips providing the assist with a brilliant pass.
The Leeds United midfielder was simply outstanding during the game and stole the show in the truest sense. Fans, teammates, pundits, and journalists have showered heaps of praise on Phillips following the win.
It seems Real Madrid are now taking note of the 25-year-old midfielder who is often dubbed as “The Yorkshire Pirlo”.
According to a recent report from Defensa Central, Madrid are looking to follow Phillips for the rest of the tournament.

Carlo Ancelotti, the new Madrid boss, wants to improve his midfield options this summer and could target Phillips.
If Phillips keeps on performing well, he could be on the radar of some of the top clubs in Europe.
Phillips is the heartbeat of the Leeds team under Marcelo Bielsa. He is the fulcrum in midfield, and the club has no plans to offload him.
The England midfielder is relishing his dream at his hometown club, and Leeds will simply say three words to any potential suitor – “not for sale”.
Defensa Central claim that Phillips had a market value of £26m before the tournament possibly implying that he could be available at a decent price.
Leeds fans adore Phillips and they will probably laugh at the suggestion that their star player could leave in the summer and that too at under £30m.
