Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips has been told ‘we will get you to Liverpool’ by an agency, Football Insider report.
The Lowdown: Agency switch?
Phillips revealed towards the end of 2021 that he wanted a new Elland Road deal, but as we know, that is yet to materialise, with his current contract running to 2024.

The England international is currently represented by Kevin Sharp, however, former Leeds man Danny Mills has recently claimed Phillips is set to switch agents, potentially leading to a blockbuster summer move.
He has been linked with a move for Liverpool for some time, with reports at the beginning of the year suggesting Jurgen Klopp’s side were weighing up a £33.2m bid.
The Latest: Liverpool links
Football Insider shared an update regarding Phillips on Wednesday morning after being informed by a recruitment source.
They claimed that some of the biggest agents in the game are offering him the connections to seal a huge move, with one privately telling the Leeds star ‘we will get you to Liverpool’.

The Verdict: A worry…
Sources have told Football Insider that Leeds value the 26-year-old at £70m, however, if the Whites drop down to the Championship, you would expect that would drop slightly.
It is a worry to know that agents already appear to be in Phillips’ ear ahead of the summer window, and with a new Elland Road deal yet to be signed, it seems as if an exit could be on the cards even if Jesse Marsch keeps Leeds up.
Phillips may still have a part to play in helping Leeds guarantee their Premier League status, with the holding midfielder possibly returning from injury after the international break, so it seems as if he has a big few months ahead both on and off the pitch.
