LEEDS have expressed an interest in signing out-of-favour Liverpool defender Nat Phillips, according to reports.
The Whites were relegated to the Championship last month and they are now expected to lose several first team stars as a result.
Defenders Rasmus Kristensen and Robin Koch have already been linked with a move away, with Roma and Manchester United understood to be interested.
Leeds officials are now on the hunt for reinforcements, with Liverpool defender Phillips on their shortlist.
According to The Athletic, the Whites are interested in signing the 26-year-old.
Liverpool are thought to be asking for up to £10million for the out-of-favour star.

However, it could be difficult for Leeds to complete a deal without a manager.
Sam Allardyce, who took charge of the club for the final month of the 2022-23 campaign, announced his departure earlier this month.
And club officials are yet to announce his successor.
Daniel Farke has been linked with the job, so he could be keen on the prospect of signing Phillips if he takes over at Elland Road.

The former Borussia Monchengladbach boss wanted to sign the defender during his time as Norwich manager.
Phillips has made 29 appearances for Liverpool since his debut in 2020.
He struggled to break into the first team and has since fallen down the pecking order at Anfield.
The defender was limited to just five first team appearances last season.
