Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips admits he studies the game of PSG's Marco Verratti.

The pair clashed in the summer's Euro 2020 final won by Italy on penalties.

England international Phillips recalled: "I knew it would be hard to get someone's shirt. I did ask for Veratti's. I've always loved him and think he's an exceptional player.

"Obviously, he might have wanted to keep it as well as a souvenir for himself. There's no hard feelings on that one.

"When I watch him, the way he controls the game and if he needs to rat about, he can rat about.

"He's very physical. He's not very tall but he's very physical and he gets into the game really quick and gets stuck in, which I like."
