DONE DEAL: Tottenham defender Ashley Phillips joins Plymouth

Tottenham defender Ashley Phillips has joined Plymouth Argyle on-loan to the end of the season.

Phillips joined Spurs in the summer from Blackburn Rovers.

He's a young player with lots of potential," Plymouth boss Ian Foster told BBC Sport.

"He's a really calm and composed player with the ball, and someone who is brave is possession.

"Out of possession he's really athletic. He's a big 18-year-old so he's physically already highly developed, but I'm sure there's much more to come.

"He's not the finished article by any stretch of the imagination, but he will be a top player," he added.
