Manchester City have set their sights on securing a new central midfielder, with Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips top of a list of replacements for departing captain Fernandinho.
The Brazilian said farewell to fans at Monday's Premier League title parade as he heads back to Athletico Paranaense after nine years at the Etihad.
Phillips has been identified as possessing the perfect profile for the squad and City are expected to pursue him in the coming weeks.
The England international has shone for Leeds, despite the club only saving themselves from relegation on a dramatic final day of the season.
