Is Phillips about to rejoin Ollie?

Almost 20 years into his professional career, could Kevin Phillips be on the move again?

According to Sky Sports, the former England international is a potential target for Crystal Palace, with the Eagles looking to secure his signing on deadline day.

Palace manager Ian Holloway got the best out of Phillips at Blackpool last season, as the striker scored 17 goals to help lead the Seasiders to the play-offs.  As well as competing in the Championship, Phillips has a wealth of Premier League experience, having previously found the net in the top flight for Sunderland, Southampton, Aston Villa and Birmingham.

Now 39 years of age, the veteran striker may look at promotion-chasing Palace as a last chance at the big time.  Blackpool currently remain a fair distance from the play-off places and time is running out if Phillips is to leave Bloomfield Road. 

The player remains under contract and so the two clubs would have to agree terms for any move to take place.  Should Phillips head to South London, it would become the first time he has played for a team from the capital.

His former manager believes that he still has goals in him, so will the chance of working with Holloway again seal the deal?
