Phillips interests Saints

Southampton have made a £6million bid for Blackpool's Matt Phillips, Press Association Sport understands.

The 21-year-old has impressed since joining the Tangerines from Wycombe two years ago, plundering 18 goals for the npower Championship side last season.

Phillips' form has seen him linked with a move away from Bloomfield Road, with the south coast club strongly linked as a potential destination.
