England international star Phillips had his medical with City on Friday and the official announcement of the deal for Pep Guardiola's side to sign the 26-year-old midfielder is expected at some point on Monday.

City are expected to pay £42m - rising to £45m with add-ons - and Leeds are looking to sign a new first-team defensive central midfielder to replace the outgoing Phillips.

In the meantime, the Whites are adding a highly rated young centre midfield prospect to their ranks in the shape of 18-year-old Darko Gyabi from Manchester City for £5m.

Gyabi also had his medical with Leeds on Friday and the announcement of the young midfielder's signature is also expected on Monday.
