Leeds fans have been full of praise for Kalvin Phillips this season, so how much is the local lad worth based on current form?
Phillips was one the main scapegoats for Leeds’ poor form under Paul Heckingbottom, as the tough-tackling youngster just didn’t seem to have the technical ability to match his physicality and athleticism.
He has improved more than any other player under Marcelo Bielsa though, and is now the Whites’ most important player.

The 23 year-old is brilliant both as a defensive midfielder and as a centre back, and his ability to spray the ball around from deep is crucial to Bielsa’s system.
His current contract with the club runs until 2021, but what price tag would fans place on him if a Premier League club came calling?
Given that Bournemouth’s deal for Lewis Cook could rise as high as £10m, is Phillips worth more than that?
He is arguably far more crucial to the team than Cook was, and his versatility should add an extra few figures on his price tag.
So, Leeds fans, how much do you think Phillips is worth? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below…
