Quinn shows interest in move for Phillips

Sunderland boss Niall Quinn admits he is interested in bringing old team-mate Kevin Phillips back to Wearside from Aston Villa if the opportunity arises.

Quinn is preparing the side for a Coca-Cola Championship promotion challenge and admits Phillips would be a useful addition to the Black Cats squad, although he will wait for the outcome of the on-going takeover bid and manager search at Villa Park if necessary.
