Leeds to hand him a new deal - after seeing them block a £55m move to West Ham on transfer deadline day.Phillips is keener than ever to sign a new contract at Elland Road and is piling pressure on the Yorkshire club to make good on their promise of one.Leeds rejected three offers from the Hammers for the England star in last month's transfer window.And while Leeds-born Phillips was pleased his hometown club refused to sell him, he wants to pledge his future to them to bring an end to all the speculation about him.Phillips, whose current deals runs until the summer of 2024, is not even close to being one of the highest-paid stars at Elland Road, despite establishing himself in Gareth Southgate's England team.Manchester United, Liverpool and even Real Madrid have all enquired about the midfielder but Phillips' agent Kevin Sharp has now urged Leeds to show their commitment to him."Kalvin was pleased that Leeds turned those offers down," Sharp said."He has never asked to leave Leeds in all his time with the club and has no intention of doing that now or in the summer."But I understand the offer that was turned down would have been a record for both buying and selling clubs."So I would hope that Leeds would honour their promise of a new contract for him, which would then end any unsettling speculation about his future this summer."The 26-year-old emerged as a key part of Southgate’s side after starting every game in last summer's European Championships on that glorious run to the final.Should Kalvin Phillips hold out for a big European club?

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing Arsenal target Alexander Isak as Cristiano Ronaldo's potential replacement.Signing Ronaldo last summer was always going to be a short-term solution to the Red Devils' hunt for a striker, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner now 37 years old.It might be even shorter than planned, though, because a season without silverware or Champions League qualification could see him depart this summer.If that were to happen, then The Mirror claim United could make a move for 22-year-old Isak, who has been heavily linked with Mikel Arteta's side to fill their gap for a new frontman. It's reported that United are keen on the Real Sociedad forward, but so are their Premier League rivals Chelsea.The Gunners now seem to have company in the race for the man seen as an alternative to Erling Haaland, who has looked set to move to Real Madrid but could now be up for grabs.They decided against making an offer for him in the January transfer window as his La Liga owners are only interested in selling for his £75m release clause.Would United be better off with Isak than Ronaldo? Let us know in the comments section.Isak's contract runs until 2026, which means Sociedad have no reason to cash in for any less than that fee.The Sweden international, who already has 31 caps for his country, has registered eight goals and two assists in 26 appearances for his club this season.Despite the rumour mill going into overdrive when he was spotted in London last month, Isak is remaining focused on his football.He told Mundo Deportivo: "I am not talking about other clubs.

Strictly Come Dancing finalist John Whaite has been forced to drop out of Sunday night’s (6 February) tour performance of the live ballroom competition.The 32-year-old confirmed that he had tested positive for Covid-19 after he took a lateral flow test over the weekend, despite feeling "fine" in himself.Now, the Great British Bake Off winner – who was paired with Johannes Radebe on the show – remains in isolation while he waits for the results of his PCR test to tell him whether he will be able to continue with the tour.He explained his situation to his adoring fans in a video which he posted to his Instagram Story on Sunday morning as he lay in bed.The TV chef shared the devastating news with his 309,000 followers as he enjoyed some rest and relaxation inside his Glasgow hotel.He admitted: "I’ve got a little bit of bad news I'm afraid. A lateral flow this morning has come back positive so I now have to sit here in this glamorous captivity – lovely bedhead – until a result of a PCR comes back."I’m hoping it comes back negative because I feel fine.

West Ham failed with an audacious bid for Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips on Transfer Deadline Day.The Hammers were prepared to offer up to £55million for the England international to join his central midfielder partner, on the international stage, Declan Rice.Leeds rebuffed the offer for the man who has also generated interest from Manchester United. The move started after the clubs met three weeks ago - at the start of January.However, Leeds' 1-0 loss to Newcastle, on January 22, left the deal dead in the water despite West Ham's late push.At the start of the season, Bielsa said he thinks Phillips would want to leave a legacy at Elland Road.He said: "I’m sure the day he leaves Leeds and the way that he does it, far from provoking disappointment."Of course, it will generate disappointment – but it’s going to solidify his link to the club, the people and the city.“I’m sure he would only leave if it’s guaranteed that the link to the place where he was born remains intact.
