Liverpool and Tottenham would need to stump up an “astronomical figure” to land reported transfer target Kalvin Phillips, according to former Leeds striker Noel Whelan.
Phillips, who was recently ruled out for up to six weeks with a shoulder injury, was handed an England call-up by Gareth Southgate in August, before going on to make his debut against Denmark in the UEFA Nations League in September, having impressed the Three Lions coach with his performances for Marcelo Bielsa's side.
He has now won four international caps and, with the midfield anchor man having shot to prominence since Leeds' promotion back to the Premier League, reports have linked champions Liverpool and Jose Mourinho's Tottenham with a £50 million (€55m) move for Phillips in next summer's transfer window.
