Liverpool 'interested in summer deal for Kalvin Phillips'

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips during this summer's transfer window.

The 26-year-old has recently been sidelined with a hamstring problem, but he was again in impressive form for the Whites in the opening months of the 2021-22 campaign.

Phillips still has two-and-a-half years left to run on his contract at Elland Road, but his recent development has led to suggestions that Leeds could struggle to keep hold of him on a long-term basis.

According to El Nacional, Liverpool are huge admirers of the England international and could attempt to bring him to Anfield at the end of the season.

The report claims that the Reds are prepared to offer £33.4m for the midfielder, but Leeds are not prepared to sell to another Premier League side at this moment in time.

Phillips has made 226 appearances for the Whites in all competitions since debuting in 2014, contributing 14 goals and 13 assists in the process.
