West Brom are close to completing a move for England international midfielder Owen Hargreaves. The 30 year old former Man Utd man will reportedly sign a two year deal at the Hawthorns.

  • Hargreaves battled with injury whilst at Man Utd, but appears to have impressed Roy Hodgson sufficiently to offer the player a full time contract.



    "We believe he's capable of playing top-flight football again and we're very interested in him," said Hodgson.



    Hodgson said: "Dan [Ashworth, the club's sporting director] has had further talks with him and they have been relatively positive.



    "If the day came when he was close to signing a contract, he'd have to go through a more rigorous medical.



    "But I quite firmly believe that he would just as easily pass that. Owen was keen to show the doctor that the knee was fine."
