Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips is expected to switch agents, and it could help him land a move to Liverpool, according to reports in the UK.
The England international has been linked with both the Reds and Manchester United in recent months, but supporters on Twitter are very much split over whether he would be a good purchase:

Previous reports have suggested that Phillips could cost £60m, which seems like a pretty steep price, considering his recent injury record.
However, if Leeds were to be relegated from the Premier League this season, he could become available for a much lower amount which Liverpool may consider taking advantage of.
It is also open to debate whether manager Jurgen Klopp actually needs another midfielder. Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will only have a year left on their contracts in the summer so perhaps, if one or both leave Anfield, Phillips could be considered as a potential replacement.
