Bournemouth 'agree loan deal for Liverpool's Nat Phillips'

Championship outfit Bournemouth have reportedly agreed a deal with Liverpool to loan defender Nat Phillips for the rest of the season.

The 24-year-old has fallen down the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp, featuring just three times for the senior side across all competitions.

Phillips, who is yet to play in the Premier League this campaign, made his last appearance for the Reds in a 2-1 Champions League win over AC Milan in December.

Liverpool are willing to let the Englishman leave the club in search of regular first-team football; however, no interested clubs are believed to be prepared to meet his £15m valuation.

According to Sky Sports News, Bournemouth have now agreed to take Phillips on loan and the centre-back is set to travel down to the South Coast for his medical.

The Cherries are also understood to be interested in signing Reds' full-back Neco Williams on a temporary deal.
