“The player that has stood out to me is Dan Neil.” Phillips said.
“I covered him for Sky in the Arsenal and Doncaster game and he was brilliant in both. He did really, really well.

Swans plot MK Dons raid
Russel Martin is reportedly set to raid his former club this window in order to tempt two players to switch Milton Keynes for Swansea.

MK Dons would likely be reluctant to sell the duo this month.
