Manchester City Romeo Lavia
Leeds United target Romeo Lavia now has a number of offers on the table and looks likely to leave Manchester City on loan this summer.
The Lowdown: Leeds interested in Lavia
Labelled an ‘aggressive’ player by Etihad Stadium legend Vincent Kompany, Lavia has been linked with a move to Elland Road in recent days. City are reluctant to let the 18-year-old leave, even though they know it could help them in their pursuit of Whites midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
Leeds and Southampton are both interested in the Belgian holding midfielder, who some at City believe will one day be at the level to play under Pep Guardiola.
The Latest: Lavia update
The Secret Scout took to Twitter on Saturday to provide an update regarding Lavia after talking to his ‘representatives’.
They claimed that ‘clubs in lower half of the Premier League and top Championship clubs have made offers’, with a loan option likely as ‘City rate him highly’, signing off with ‘Boom’, an explosion emoji and a hint of a significant development ‘soon’.

The Verdict: Leeds one of those?
Leeds could well be one of the clubs who have tabled an offer for Lavia, and if they have, you’d like to think that they would be in a great position to get a loan deal over the line purely due to City’s interest in Phillips.

Should the England international depart for the Etihad, then the Whites would look to sign a replacement. Although Lavia would probably not be that man straight away, he could still be a shrewd option from the bench to bolster Jesse Marsch’s options.
New signing Marc Roca would be the only holding midfielder available to the 48-year-old if Phillips leaves, so signing Lavia and one other could be a wise move from Leeds.
