Former Bolton Wanderers defender Nat Phillips appears likely to be on the move this January and leave Liverpool.

The 24-year-old Bolton-born defender came through the youth ranks at Wanderers but left in the summer of 2016 having not made a first team appearance for the club.

He later joined the Anfield club's youth set up and began to train with the first team in 2018, but appears likely to depart Jurgen Klopp's side this month.

Phillips has made just four appearances for the Reds this campaign, one of which came against Wanderers in the Papa John's Trophy group stage where he captained Liverpool to a 4-1 loss.

Liverpool are reportedly holding out for a transfer fee of £15m for Phillips this month but will accept £12m, whose contract at Anfield runs until the summer of 2025.

Watford and West Ham United are among the clubs credited with an interest in the central defender.

And now, Football Insider reports that Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven have made an approach for Phillips too.

Permanent and loan offers are being sought for Phillips, who is down the pecking order in the centre half department at Anfield, and now the fifth-choice centre-back at Anfield after Ibrahima Konate was brought into the club in the summer.

An offer of £7m for Phillips from a Premier League club has already been turned down by the Reds.
