Watford plot swoop for Liverpool's Phillips

Watford are plotting a swoop for Liverpool centre-back Nathaniel Phillips - according to the Evening Standard.

Claudio Ranieri is eager to bolster his defensive ranks this month and Phillips is thought to be open to a move away from Anfield.

The 24-year-old is playing a bit-part role in Liverpool's squad at the moment, but would likely see far more regular minutes at relegation-battling Watford.

Ex-Arsenal star Ramsey has already turned down Newcastle, Wolves, Burnley, with Palace now deciding against making a formal offer for the Welshman.

Blues target exit-bound Barca star

Chelsea have set their sights on Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele - according to The Sun.

The 24-year-old's current contract expires in the summer but the Blaugrana are willing to let him go before the winter window closes after growing frustrated with negotiations over an extension.

Chelsea are poised to make a move for Dembele, but it is unclear whether they will try for a permanent deal or an initial loan.
