SJ Earthquakes, New England Revolution, and LA Galaxy are among several American clubs interested in St Mirren's Irish international midfielder, Killian Phillips. The 24-year-old has also garnered interest from a German club and the Belgian side Kortrijk, which has been in contact but has not yet made an offer. Aberdeen recently paused talks with St Mirren regarding the player because St Mirren's desired fee exceeds the approximate £500,000 Aberdeen was prepared to pay.
The midfielder has one year remaining on his contract. Because Phillips holds an American passport, he would not occupy an international roster spot in MLS, and he is permitted to talk to interested clubs in January. Phillips has four caps for Ireland, joined St Mirren in July 2025, and has a current market value on Transfermarkt of €1.00m.
