Newcastle United are reportedly hoping to try and sign Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips in the summer transfer window.
The England international has had a difficult season due to injury problems, only playing 14 of a possible 32 Premier League games.
However, his performances over the past couple of years for both club and country have brought a lot of attention to the midfielder, with a variety of different teams keeping tabs on him.
Newcastle are now interested in signing Phillips this summer, and the Daily Mail reports that the club are willing to give him a significant pay rise in order to make that happen.
The Magpies are prepared to pay him £125,000 on a weekly basis, which would be an £87,000-a-week increase from what the 26-year-old is currently earning at Elland Road.
Even though there is a lot of transfer speculation surrounding Phillips, Leeds are still hoping that he will sign a contract extension.
