QPR winger Phillips, Burnley defender Shackell on Leeds Utd radar

Leeds United are planning a summer of strengthening according to recent reports.

It is believed that the Championship club are determined to lure players with Premier League experience to Elland Road ahead of a possible promotion pursuit next season.

Reports suggest that QPR winger Matt Phillips, who is a strong target for West Bromwich Albion, has emerged on Leeds' transfer radar.

The 24-year old has been in fine form for the relegation-threatened R's in 2015 and could be lured away from Loftus Road if the west London club drop to the Championship but a move to a division rival is unlikely.

Another player in the same boat is Burnley defender Jason Shackell who is also a target for the West Yorkshire outfit who are hoping their transfer embargo is lifted this summer.
