Manchester City have agreed a potential \u00a345 million deal with Leeds to sign England midfielder Kalvin Phillips, the PA news agency has reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Premier League champions have had a bid of \u00a342m, with a possible extra \u00a33m in add-ons, accepted by the Elland Road outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A separate agreement has also been reached for City Academy midfielder Darko Gyabi to move in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deals are now subject to personal terms being agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillips would become City\u2019s third major addition of the summer after the arrivals of forwards Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City have turned to Phillips to bolster their midfield after the departure of the long-serving Fernandinho at the end of last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillips came through the youth ranks at Leeds and played a key part in their promotion back to the top flight two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He went on to establish himself in the Premier League and as an England international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal for Gyabi, an 18-year-old England Under-18 international who joined City from Millwall four years ago, has been negotiated independently.<\/p>\n
