Manchester City have agreed a deal with Leeds to sign midfielder Kalvin Phillips for a fee in the region of £45m to £50m.
England international Phillips is moving closer to leaving his boyhood club, where he came through the academy and flourished under former boss Marcelo Bielsa.
he deal has yet to be officially completed as Phillips still needs to agree personal terms and pass a medical.
Sky Sports News understands, out of loyalty to Leeds, the only club he would have joined was Manchester City and he has turned down approaches from other clubs.
The 26-year-old will look to fill the void left by Fernandinho at City, who revealed he will be leaving the club this summer after nine years with the club.
Former Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford speaking to Sky Sports News:
"It's a phenomenal deal for someone that has come through the academy, it's been nothing short of an incredible rise.
"It's a great deal for City, especially with Fernandinho leaving. They are replacing a living legend with another potential legend. I think it's a brilliant deal from City's perspective.
"I'm over the moon for him. He's such a lovely guy, a great lad. All the boys will be sad to see him go."

Newcastle have agreed a deal with Lille to sign centre-back Sven Botman. The total fee for the defender is in the region of £35m.
Botman is expected to travel to Tyneside for a medical next week and to finalise personal terms and complete the deal.
The Dutchman has been Eddie Howe's No 1 defensive transfer target this summer. The club did earmark the defender as a January transfer target but negotiations with Lille have proved complicated.
They have beaten off competition from AC Milan for his signature.
Newcastle United are still in talks for Reims striker Hugo Ekitike but are prepared to walk away from the deal if progress is not made.
Negotiations over certain terms have been described to Sky Sports News as "difficult", with one source revealing that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in the France U21 International, and that other clubs are also keen.
