According to the Lancashire Telegraph, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk\/sport\/26404489.blackburn-rovers-spurs-sell-on-clause-10m-link\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Phillips is the subject of a bid of \u201cmore than \u00a310m\u201d from Boro<\/a> as they gear up for a potential promotion campaign in the Championship this coming season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Boro doesn\u2019t appear to be Phillips\u2019 only option, with the article stating he\u2019s getting a lot of attention from English clubs as well as some from the continent as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Philllips has yet to make a single appearance for Spurs, but he\u2019s turning into a hot commodity in the Championship. Signed three years ago for \u00a32.5m, Phillips has had a loan at Plymouth Argyle and two straight seasons on loan at Stoke City where he has established himself as an exciting young defender. That doesn\u2019t always translate to Premier League success, and if he stays he\u2019ll almost certainly go back out on loan again. He was not listed on Spurs\u2019 preseason tour roster which suggests he\u2019s leaving the club one way or another this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">One financial wrinkle: Blackburn Rovers apparently have a 15% sell-on clause in Phillips\u2019 contract, so they\u2019ll see a small windfall if and when Phillips gets sold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">It seems pretty clear at this point that Spurs intend to flip Phillips for a profit rather than bring him through into the first team; he\u2019d be well back in the CB pecking order and it\u2019s not clear that his skills translate (yet) to what we hope is a high functioning Premier League side at Spurs. That\u2019s probably fine. Phillips clearly is in demand and now might be a very good time for Spurs to cash in, even if it means he\u2019s never played a first team match in Tottenham\u2019s colors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ink has hardly dried on Will Lankshear\u2019s move from Tottenham Hotspur to Middlesbrough, and Boro are now&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":780919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99,55348],"class_list":["post-780918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-tottenham-transfer-news-rumors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/780919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
