Kevin Mark Phillips (born 25 July 1973 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire) is an English footballer who currently plays as a striker for Birmingham City.
His favoured position is as a centre forward alongside a target man, which was the basis for his success at Sunderland, although he has found success alongside a variety of strike partners during his career.
Starting his career at non-league Baldock Town as a right-back after being rejected as a defender as they saw him as too short for Southampton, Phillips was the Premier League top scorer in the 1999–2000 season with 30 goals for Sunderland, and he then went on to win the Golden Boot for the whole of Europe in that season.
McLeish is searching for a striker to fill the void left by injuries to Cameron Jerome and Kevin Phillips, and sees the Russia international as an ideal signing.
