Newcastle United are planning to make a move for Queen's Park Rangers winger Matt Phillips, according to reports from The Sun.

Newcastle have long been mentioned as admirers of Phillips and the Magpies are said to again be monitoring the attacking midfielder despite failing with a bid in the summer.

With Phillips having only 18 months remaining on his current deal, it is widely expected that the Englishman will be leaving QPR in January and according to reports, Newcastle will be reigniting their interest in the 24-year-old upon the reopening of the transfer window.
