Matt Phillips flattered by Premier League interest

Blackpool winger Matt Phillips has admitted that he is flattered by speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League.

The 21-year-old, who narrowly missed out on promotion to the top flight in last weekend's playoff final, is thought to have caught the eye of Everton, Swansea City, Stoke City and Reading.

"It's good, it gives you an extra boost to know that you are doing well and that other people are noticing," he told Press Association Sport.

"I don't think you can think about things like that until something happens and Blackpool accept an offer.

"I don't think it will be on my mind. I've still got a season and an option at Blackpool so I'll take it as it comes."

Phillips moved to Bloomfield Road from Wycombe Wanderers in 2010.
