The transfer window in the United Kingdom may be closed until the summer, but thankfully we can get our fix from elsewhere.

One country who are still very much able to conclude transfers dealings is the United States of America, where clubs in the MLS are currently being put through their paces as they gear up for the new season.

Warm weather training camps seem to be all the rage these days, and that's exactly what New England Revolution are doing at present as they undertake a training camp in Marbella.

Famous faces connected to the Revolution include Clint Dempsey, Michael Mancienne and Brad Friedel who is currently head coach of the MLS side.

But as the regular stars are put through their paces, there's one surprise inclusion in the shape of QPR defender Giles Phillips.

Football.London understands that the defender is training with New England Revolution in Marbella with the view to a loan move.

Phillips has posted a number of stories on Instagram showing himself in the Costa De Sol.

It's also thought that the defender featured in a friendly for the MLS side as they lost 2-0 to Krasnodar, although his inclusion in the fixture is not confirmed.

The youngster has recently signed a new contract at Loftus Road which will keep him at the club until 2020.

Phillips would be eligible to feature for the MLS side as an American citizen, meaning that no complications would arise in terms of securing a work permit.

The QPR man would be the latest in a long line of young players to leave the west London club on loan.

The Hoops allowed several prospects including Paul Smyth, Aramide Oteh, Seny Dieng, Charloe Owens, Sean Goss and Ilias Chair to leave the club in the closing days of the January transfer window, and it appears that Giles Phillips could be next to head out in search of regular first team football.
