The newspaper claims that all three clubs are keen on the 24-year-old, who has been a key player as Marcelo Bielsa’s side look to the gain promotion to the Premier League.

Phillips has made 30 appearances for Leeds this campaign, scoring one goal and providing two assists, but he generally plays as the anchorman in the Whites’ midfield, dictating play from a deeper role, and breaking up opposition attacks.

The Championship star has also been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Aston Villa over the past year due to his impressive performances.

However, Phillips only signed a new contract back in September last year and it has been reported that it would cost at least £20m to prize him away from Elland Road in the summer.
