It must be said, though, the 22-year-old has not actually been linked with a summer switch to Elland Road.
The article supporters on Reddit have been reacting to was one by Iranian media outlet Tasnim, who were referring to a piece Football League World had put together discussing three players who may be worth pursuing if we lose Phillips.
