West Brom are chasing Liverpool defender Djimi Traore and it seems that the Liverpool man wants a move to the Hawthorns after it was was confirmed by his agent that the former Laval centre-half wants a move away from Anfield.

His agent Willy McKay revealed "He has three years left on his contract at Liverpool, but he wants to come to Albion".

Traore was brought to Liverpool by recently sacked manager Gerard Houllier from Laval in 1999 and has played 45 premiership matches aswell as appearing for in the UEFA Cup.

Meanwhile, it is rumoured that Rob Hulse could be on his way back to Crewe Alexandra on a season-long loan after boss Gary Megson wants to bring in more fire power.
