# Leeds United: Kalvin Phillips tipped to guide Whites to top six finish

**Former Leeds United defender Danny Mills has [tipped](https://www.footballinsider247.com/mills-reacts-to-big-leeds-united-transfer-report/) Kalvin Phillips to guide the Whites to a top-six finish in the Premier League if the club can resist offers from Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.**

Phillips has developed incredibly with Leeds and is now one of the most talked about Premier League players, having started the season in fine form, [gaining many plaudits.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/kalvin-phillips-praised-alex-mcleish-england/)

Having also become a regular for the England national side, Phillips is now said to be attracting interest from Spurs, with chief [Daniel Levy reportedly ready to double his wages.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leeds-kalvin-phillips-50m-transfer-22861917)

Champions Liverpool are also [said](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/leeds-transfer-news-liverpool-and-tottenham-set-for-pound50m-kalvin-phillips-bidding-war) to be interested.

### What has Mills said regarding Phillips’ future at the club?

Talking about the future of Phillips and his importance to Leeds, Mills was drawn to comment on a potential top-six finish for the Yorkshire side, which he felt would be determined by the future of the defensive midfielder.

*“If this season goes well,”* Mills told [Football Insider.](https://www.footballinsider247.com/mills-reacts-to-big-leeds-united-transfer-report/) *“I am sure clubs will be coming looking.*

*“He is a superb player, he just has to prove it now.* *It is a big step up because to be consistent in the Premier League is not easy, no matter what anybody thinks.*

*“H**e has a great opportunity to showcase his football at Leeds. Hopefully he does that but stays at Leeds and pushes them into that top six.”*

### What does the future hold for Phillips?

The youngster could become the subject to a bid much greater than what he is valued at currently by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kalvin-phillips/profil/spieler/351749), which is a mere £19.8m.

An impressive rise to England regular has been quite remarkable and Leeds will find it hard to hold off a huge bid from one of their Premier League rivals.

The January transfer window could be a very interesting one for Phillips and the Yorkshire club.
