# Leeds United: Fans wouldn’t even sell Kalvin Phillips for £40 million

**It would be an earth-shatteringly large bid for a Championship player, but Leeds United supporters insist Kalvin Phillips is far more valuable than £40m.**

> If a £40m bid came in for Kalvin Phillips in the January transfer window, would you accept it? 🤔[#LUFC](https://twitter.com/hashtag/LUFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/BgJDwb6B33](https://t.co/BgJDwb6B33)

The 23-year-old endeared himself to the Leeds faithful even further last weekend, scoring the winning-goal in their [centenary match victory](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1DVJR_enGB846GB846&sxsrf=ACYBGNRlpmFU0hJflLRlSTZY1CT0hgL3IA%3A1571820776385&ei=6BSwXbySF4PixgPnwpvwAg&q=leeds+united+vs+birmingham&oq=leeds+united+vs+bir&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0i324j0l5j0i22i30l4.3794.5593..6774...0.2..0.87.791.10......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j35i39j0i3j0i20i263j0i131.BdWx3GYb5dQ#sie=m;/g/11flzlg46n;2;/m/0355pl;dt;fp;1;;) over Birmingham City at Elland Road.

Phillips, [who has one goal and an assist](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/270446/History/Kalvin-Phillips) so far this campaign, is rated highly by supporters.

The Leeds-born midfielder burst onto the scene two seasons ago, proving a key player in United’s narrow promotion push last season with [seven goals and three assists in the Championship, as per WhoScored.com](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/270446/History/Kalvin-Phillips)

It’s clear Phillips is a player for now and the future – and could be spearheading this side’s journey to success in years to come.

As a result, Leeds fans simply value him far too highly to let go, and when presented with the hypothetical question of ‘would you sell him for £40 million?’, there could only be one response.

> What would be the point? We’d probably see £10m re-invested (if we were lucky) and the rest would disappear into thin air.
