Leeds United captain Liam Cooper is in no doubt team-mate Kalvin Phillips is "one of the best midfielders in the world" after a career-changing Euro 2020 campaign. Phillips started all seven of England's matches during the tournament as Gareth Southgate's side went all the way to the final. "He announced himself in that first game against Croatia (at Euro 2020) and I've told him that his life has changed forever now," Cooper exclusively told Sky Sports News. "He works so hard here (at Leeds), all the boys and the people of Leeds think the world of him and he deserves everything that comes his ways. "For me, he is one of the best midfielders in the world right now."
