West Brom move for Ridgewell

West Brom boss Roy Hodgson has confirmed that Liam Ridgewell is a player very high up his shortlist. The centre back, valued at around 3m GBP, is keen to leave Birmingham as he wants Premiership football.

Ridgewell is one of the players that the club would like to stay - instead believing that Scott Dann and Roger Johnson would be leaving the club - but there has been only some interest in the former Aston Villa defender.

A fee of 3m GBP has been suggested for Ridgewell.
