Bournemouth are interested in signing Leeds United duo Kalvin Phillips and Jack Clarke, according to a report by Football Insider.

The report states that the Premier League club are planning a £25 million swoop for the duo in the summer, with both players impressing at Elland Road this season.

Phillips has enjoyed an outstanding season for Leeds, making 39 appearances in the Championship, while 18-year-old Clarke has established himself as a first-team star after progressing through the club's academy.

Leeds are currently second in the Championship table, three points ahead of third-placed Sheffield United in the race for automatic promotion, with just four matches left to play.

Marcelo Bielsa's side have the chance to take a major step towards the Premier League by delivering back-to-back wins against Wigan Athletic and Brentford this coming weekend.

The Verdict:

This is worrying news for Leeds, as the report states that Bournemouth are planning on signing the duo regardless of what division the team are in next season.

Phillips and Clarke have both impressed for the Whites this season and would both be good signings for Bournemouth.

At such a crucial stage of the season, both players cannot afford to be distracted by the transfer speculation and need to remain focused on ending the season with Leeds by winning promotion.
