# Leeds: Journalist expects more offers for Kalvin Phillips this summer

**There will be a host of bids for Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Paul Brown.**

### The Lowdown: January bid

The 26-year-old is a priceless player for the Whites, with his current absence from a [hamstring injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kalvin-phillips/verletzungen/spieler/351749) playing a big part in their unconvincing form.

Of course, West Ham made a late [bid](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/17559819/west-ham-kalvin-phillips-transfer-bid-leeds/) for the England star in January, but some [Hammers fans suspected](https://www.westhamzone.com/news/jim-white-takes-aim-at-west-ham-board-agenda-after-january-transfer-developments/) the offer was merely to placate their fans with a ‘we tried’ message.

Phillips continues to be [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/leeds-heavyweight-trio-in-battle-to-sign-kalvin-phillips/) with a move away from Elland Road in the summer, and while some [reports](https://theathletic.com/news/phillips-says-he-wants-new-contract-at-leeds-and-insists-rumours-of-rift-with-bielsa-are-nonsense/KPJ2a29lgS8A/) claim he wants to sign a new contract, Brown expects more serious bids this time around.

### The Latest: Journalist expects offers

The journalist gave his thoughts to [*Give Me Sport*](https://www.givemesport.com/87968371-leeds-latest-news-doubts-raised-over-kalvin-phillips-future):

> “In terms of his future, there will definitely be clubs in for him in the summer.”

Manchester United have been [linked](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/kalvin-phillips-manchester-united-transfer-22297090) with a £60m move in the past, and [much has been made](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/rangnick-man-utd-january-targets-25743244) of their desperate need for a quality defensive midfielder.

### The Verdict: New deal most likely?

The thought of Leeds losing Phillips doesn’t bear thinking about for supporters, not only because of his brilliance as a player – Gareth Southgate has [hailed](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/southgate-lavishes-kalvin-phillips-praise-names-leeds-mans-qualities) him as ‘excellent’ – but also because of his lifelong affiliation with the club.

It still feels most likely that the England international will sign a new deal, given his loyalty to the Whites, and if he does it will arguably feel like one of the most significant moments of Marcelo Bielsa’s tenure.

It would be naive not to expect some big clubs to come in for Phillips, though, and if Leeds got relegated then the situation would become completely different.
