Liverpool's Phillips joins Celtic on loan

Liverpool defender Nat Phillips has joined Celtic on loan until January 2024.

The 26-year-old graduated from the Liverpool academy and made 29 appearances for the first team, scoring one goal.

He becomes Celtic's eighth summer signing, with Benfica midfielder Paulo Bernardo also in talks over a move to Parkhead.

"I'm really excited. When I heard about the interest it was one that got me excited," said Phillips, who has previously enjoyed loan spells with Bournemouth and Stuttgart.

"There were a few other options that didn't quite make me feel the same as this one did, so I was really keen to get it over the line and I'm delighted to be here now.

"It's such a huge club, the club's aspirations, the level it competes at, the fact that they're in the Champions League this year and the mentality of the club - they want to be winners in everything they do."
