West Brom push QPR to close Phillips deal

West Brom are pushing to wrap up a deal for QPR winger Matt Phillips.

The Express & Star says Albion will try to push through a deal for QPR winger Phillips this week in time for him to join the Baggies on their pre-season trip to Austria.

Phillips has been left out of Rangers' 26-man squad for their nine-day pre-season tour to Holland and didn't fly out with manager Jimmy Hasselbaink and the team yesterday.

He's been left in the UK to discuss terms with the Baggies as head coach Tony Pulis returns to the training ground this week.

Pulis would like to take Phillips to Austria with the rest of the squad on Thursday, and wants to give him his first game in an Albion shirt against French giants Paris Saint-Germain next week.
