Bournemouth boss Scott Parker has admitted he is hopeful of retaining the services of Liverpool defender Nat Phillips.
Phillips signed for the Cherries on loan for the remainder of the season in the January transfer window. Prior to his move, the 25-year-old had made just three appearances for the Reds this term.
Since moving to the south coast, Phillips has made eight appearances in the Championship, recording five wins, two draws and one defeat. He has helped Bournemouth reach second place in the league table with nine matches left to play.
