West Ham United were reportedly lining up bids for Whites
winger Raphinha and England International Phillips, but the YEP understands no
offers were made.
The Hammers did however express interest in the pair and
were informed that neither would be leaving Elland Road.
Raphinha has been in talks for a new contract and Phillips
has put on record his desire for a new deal with the Whites, although the pair
are yet to put pen to paper. Their current deals are due to expire in 2024
Leeds have been unable to secure their own priority target
this month, Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson, but have been
adamant throughout the window that they had no plans to sell key men.
There has been interest shown in winger Crysencio
Summerville but unless Leeds can replace him, the youngster will stay part of
Marcelo Bielsa's plans
