The Limavady lad who is selected for the Northern Ireland Elite Squad for next week's Milk Cup competition, has attracted attention earlier in the summer from Derry City, while it's thought Irish League champions Linfield have also been in touch with 'Stute boss John Gregg.
Nigel Pearson's side, who have Northern Ireland duo Steve Beaglehole and Gerry Taggart as part of their coaching set-up at the Walkers Stadium, are thought to want the Roe Valley teenager over for a trial.
"Philip has been selected for the Northern Ireland Elite and their manager is Steve Beaglehole, who's Academy director at Leicester City and Northern Ireland Under 21 boss, but having spoke to Gerry Taggart (Leicester's Reserve Manager), he still wants to bring Philip over for a week to have a look at him," said Gregg.
"I also know that at least one other English club is tracking Philip, while a host of eircom League of Ireland and Irish League sides have also been in touch with me.
"He'll play in the Milk Cup next week before flying over to Leicester next Sunday for a week's trial, obviously I would gutted to see him leaving, but I wish Philip all the very best in his quest to better himself."
