In light of the fact that Phillips has only recently been playing for Liverpool, the move is in line with the club’s intention to get rid of him as quickly as possible and relieve him of the weight of his £65,000 weekly wage.
It has been reported that a number of Championship teams, such as Blackburn and Cardiff, are interested in Phillips; nevertheless, it appears that Leeds is the team that is more actively pursuing him.
As a result of the limited opportunities available at Anfield, the 26-year-old player, who has previously spent time on loan at Celtic and Bournemouth, is garnering interest for the potential influence he could have if he were to join Leeds.
