Ex-England defender Johnson doesn't rate Leeds midfielder Phillips as top four player

Former West Ham defender Glen Johnson doesn't rate Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips as a top four player.

Phillips is a target for Manchester City this summer.

But Johnson told bettingodds: "I don't think he'd get much gametime at either of those clubs if I'm being honest.

"I'm a fan of his and I think he's a fantastic player, but all of those clubs have got many players in his position. I think it all depends on what happens with other players.

"I don't want to keep on bringing up Declan Rice, but I think the clubs that don't get him will certainly be more keen to go for Phillips. I think it all depends on other transfers as there's no point in moving clubs to not play.

"Unless there's more movement in terms of outgoings, then I don't see him playing much at either club."
