Liverpool defender Nat Phillips joins Bournemouth on loan for the rest of the season after REJECTING offers from Premier League strugglers Newcastle and Watford

Liverpool defender Nat Phillips has joined ambitious Bournemouth on loan for the rest of the season.

Phillips had offers from Watford and Newcastle this window too but has decided against moving to either of the Premier League strugglers.

The lure of guaranteed playing regular football at the Championship outfit has proven the deciding factor in the centre back's decision.
