Leeds United are being touted for a summer move for Swansea City midfielder Flynn Downes should England international Kalvin Phillips leave Elland Road for pastures new.<\/p>\n
A report in The Times suggest that Downes is one of the players the Leeds hierarchy have earmarked although how easy it would be to do a deal after the fall out from the Dan James loan signing is questionable.<\/p>\n
Downes who signed from Ipswich for around \u00a31m has been a standout in a largely below par season under Russell Martin and interest in him was likely in the future although there would be surprise if it was to come this early.<\/p>\n
The midfielder has largely been a consistent presence in the centre of midfield and has sometimes slotted in as a third centre half when needs must (or Russell Martin felt like channelling his inner Pep).<\/p>\n
It’ll be interesting to see whether his form will generate genuine interest in the summer. Leeds are the first to be touted with a move although as always time will tell.<\/p>\n
It would surely take a decent sum – with Phillips being suggested for a \u00a360m move – of \u00a37-10m considering Downes’ age and potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
