Phillips makes call on Leeds contract plans

England midfielder Kalvin Phillips says he's ready to sign a new deal with Leeds United.

Phillips has confirmed he's in talks about a new contract.

"Going from Championship to Premier League to England Player of the Year, it was an eye-opener and made me realise, 'I can do this'," he told the Daily Mail. "Everything came together, the hard work taking me where I wanted to be. If I carry on doing that, who knows where I'll end up."

For now, the Leeds academy graduate wants to remain at his hometown club. There is talk of a new contract but also links to Manchester United and Liverpool.

"I just want to focus on getting back fit," he says. "But I speak to the owner regularly. I want a new contract. I'm very happy here."

Phillips, it is said, is valued at £60million by his would-be suitors.

"I just think it's mental," he says. "But I'm not gonna say that I'm not worth £60m!"
