If West Brom wish to convey the previous Rangers man to the Hawthorns this summer season they should act quick, as Bristol Post declare that Bristol Metropolis are near claiming his signature in a £2m transfer.

West Brom and Norwich Metropolis are name-checked as events within the 25-year-old, who has loved one other stable marketing campaign within the Scottish Premiership, incomes a 6.79 common score from WhoScored throughout his 31 appearances within the high flight.
