Unsurprisingly there are plenty of suitors ready to pounce if this is the case with Newcastle United named as just one of a host of teams that could move for the midfielder in the summer.

Leeds reportedly rejected a £50million bid from West Ham for the man dubbed as the ‘Yorkshire Pirlo’ last month but their resolve may be tested even further at the end of the season with Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United all reportedly interested in his services.

Injury problems have plagued Phillips’ season with the 26-year-old not featuring for his club since their 2-2 draw with Brentford in early-December.

Fabian on Magpies radar

Napoli star Fabian is reportedly a target for Newcastle United this summer, however, the Magpies will face competition from north London for his signature.

After missing out on Bruno Guimaraes last month, Arsenal are reportedly eyeing Fabian to bolster their midfield with Mikel Arteta reportedly a big fan of his compatriot.

Reports in Calciomercato suggest that Newcastle had an approach for the midfielder rebuffed last month but could return with an offer in the summer if their Premier League status is secured.

However, the report also states that the midfielder may prefer to stay in mainland Europe and could be targeting a return to Spain.
