West Ham United manager David Moyes has raved about Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips in The Times.
Moyes rates the Leeds star highly, and believes that he could form a very good partnership with Declan Rice for England in the middle of the park.
Both Phillips and West Ham midfielder Rice are part of the England squad for the Euro 2020 finals.
Moyes wrote in The Times: “Another with those skills is Kalvin Phillips who for Leeds United this season was really good at working hard to get into himself into space to receive the ball and start attacks. In some games he and Declan could be quite a combination.”
