Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips makes his debut for England tonight against Denmark in the Nations League, and it’s a huge feat for someone who has never played in the English Premier League.
The 24-year-old scored twice and assisted two others in 40 appearances for Leeds last term, helping them seal top-flight promotion following a 16-year absence, and his performances definitely caught the eyes of Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate.
Phillips is the first Leeds player to play for England since 2004, and Whites owner Andrea Radrizzani has reacted thus to the achievement on Twitter:
Proud of you @kalvinphillips well deserved
