Kalvin Philips transfer

Latest AVFC transfer news includes significant update on Kalvin Phillips
Aston Villa have been dealt a crushing blow in their pursuit of Kalvin Phillips after Leeds United director of football Victor Orta all but guaranteed the midfielder will stay at the Championship club.
Villa have been keen on Phillips all summer but the two clubs remain well apart on their valuation of the highly-rated 23-year-old.
Leeds are holding firm to an asking price of over £25m for the Elland Road academy graduate – a figure that Villa haven’t been willing to meet.
Dean Smith hasn’t given up on Phillips but Leeds have offered him a new contract on improved terms in a bid to keep him away from Villa’s clutches.


This one-word transfer verdict will excite Villa fans 

Orta is leading the talks and the Leeds chief has revealed he is confident the deal will be signed - forcing the claret and blues to look elsewhere.
“It’s not a negotiation," he told LeedsLive. "He is a Leeds United player and will be a Leeds United player for the season 19/20. Leeds United want Kalvin Phillips to stay next year 100 per cent.”

 Pushed for his own personal take on the situation, Orta said: “Yes, personally, as Victor Orta, I believe [he will agree a new deal].

Phillips, whose current contract expires in 2021, earned a place in the Championship team of the year as Marcelo Bielsa side's were beaten by Derby County in the play-off semi fiinal.
Villa defeated the Rams as Wembley to earn promotion to the Premier League and already opened their cheque book to make eight new signings during the transfer window.
They’ve broken their transfer record to land Wesley Moraes from Club Brugge, splashed out to secure to Tyrone Mings’ return from Bournemouth – and also landed Jota, Anwar El Ghazi, Kortney Hause, Matt Targett, Ezri Konsa and Bjorn Engels.

Well that didn’t go as planned. It looked like the Dodgers had pulled off another of their improbable comeback victories on Tuesday night after Matt Beaty hit a three-run home run in the top of the ninth in Philadelphia to give the team an 8-6 lead. Unfortunately, the Phillies still had a chance to bat. The Dodgers turned to Kenley Jansen , who gave up three runs in the bottom of the ninth of a 9-8 loss .

Adam Lallana, Jorginho and why Liverpool star really could be set for new role

Jurgen Klopp recently compared the two players, but would the role change make sense? Josh Williams takes a tactical look Speaking after Liverpool 's 3-1 win over Bradford City on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp was quoted comparing Adam Lallana to a relatively unexpected player. The man in question was Chelsea's Jorginho, a deeper-lying central midfielder who has developed a reputation for conducting his team's football from a withdrawn area of the pitch. Lallana on the other hand, has largely been deployed in offensive midfield zones under Klopp , linking the play and offering a glue of sorts in the final third. “Adam is the kind of player he can play that and he enjoys this 'Jorginho' role – I hope (former Chelsea boss) Maurizio Sarri doesn't see the games or he will make an offer!” joked Klopp. In terms of the profiles held by the two players, they are considered to be very different as a result of how they've been utilised over the course of their careers....
