European champions want a midfielder in the summer and the name of famous journalist Dean Jones mentioned Kalvin Phillips’ name last month.
Most recently, Darren Bent has backed the Leeds United defensive midfielder to sign for Liverpool.

The former Sunderland forward claimed that the 24-year-old could not refuse a change to Anfield (Football Insider).
“Listen, if that movement occurs and it’s there on the table, you have to take it.”
“He has energy, passing, technically, he is a superior player, superior.” There was talk of him joining the England team before the shutdown. People rate it very well and if the opportunity is there for them, they have to take advantage of it.“
The 36-year-old former Spurs striker believes Phillips can challenge Fabinho to start in the defensive midfield for the Reds.
In the 2019-20 campaign, he participated in 31 games for Leeds, scored a goal and provided two assists while playing primarily as a game breaker versus the last four. You can also play central defense if necessary.
The English midfielder helped his team maintain 14 clean sheets and, in turn, Bielsa’s men had the best defensive record in the Championship before this season was suspended due to the COVID-19 (Transfermarkt) pandemic.
Phillips’ current contract with the Whites will expire in 2024 and is reportedly (The Athletic) valued at over £ 20 million.
Stage in Anfield
At the moment, we have great depth and quality in midfield with players like Jones, Lallana, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Keita and Captain Henderson.
However, Lallana will be out of a contract soon, Milner is a veteran, and Keita has spent a lot of time at the treatment table since joining us from Leipzig in 2018.
Fabinho is our main midfield star. The Brazilian has been very important to us and, in his absence, even Henderson has played brilliantly in the role of game breaker.
Give us your opinion: do you think Liverpool should move to sign a midfielder in the summer transfer window?
