Liverpool in talks to sell Phillips... but won't pursue Bellingham, Nunes until summer

Liverpool are in negotiations to sell defender Nathaniel Phillips before the January transfer window closes.

Centre back Phillips, 25, is fifth choice and has only played 65 minutes in the Premier League this season, so may be willing to leave in search of regular first-team football.

Elsewhere, the Reds may sign a midfielder on loan to bolster their squad as they look to climb back up into the European places - but will wait until the summer to pursue moves for Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham and Wolves' Matheus Nunes.
