John Barnes believes that Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips would be the perfect fit for Liverpool but is not expecting him to move to Anfield. Phillips has long been linked with a number of the Premier League’s top sides following his form at Elland Road and with England.
The 26-year-old has established himself as one of the best holding midfield players in the country over recent seasons and played a key role in the Three Lions reaching the final of EURO 2020. However, Phillips has suffered with injury problems over the course of this campaign and has been absent for over three months following surgery on his hamstring.
Phillips’ long-term future will almost certainly depend on the division that Leeds are playing in next season as they continue their battle to beat the drop. The Whites are currently sat 16 th in the table and four points above the bottom three.
