Fulham have lined up Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips as a replacement for Palhinha, in the event that he does head to the Allianz Arena.

Kalvin Phillips might be having a horrendous season and is currently playing himself out of contention for this summer’s European Championships, but there is still plenty of interest in him. The Manchester City midfielder’s form on loan at West Ham has been nothing short of abysmal and instead of representing England in Germany, he is going to be on a beach contemplating his next career move. Unless he finishes the season very strongly. There has been a lot of talk about a return to Leeds United, which would probably be the perfect move for Phillips if they are promoted from the Championship. A report from Football Transfers claims Fulham are keen, though. Marco Silva’s summer plans are well underway with three new faces being lined up. The players in question? Phillips, Arsenal midfielder Charlie Patino and Coventry’s Callum O’Hare. Phillips could be signed as a replacement for Joao Palhinha, whose terrific form for the Cottagers has seen him linked with several European giants. No potential fee is mentioned but the report does add that Leeds have interest in re-signing the midfielder.
