WEST BROM

Fulham have opened talks with West Brom to sign Peter Odemwingie. The west Londoners are apparently prepared to pay £3m plus add-ons for the Nigeria international but Albion are holding out for at least £5m.

QPR boss Mark Hughes is chasing Birmingham City goalkeeper Ben Foster, currently on loan at The Hawthorns.

ASTON VILLA

Villa boss Alex Mcleish is ready to make a move for Liam Ridgewell. West Brom had a bid for the central defender turned down yesterday.

McLeish has told Liverpool that they will have to make an 'attractive' offer for Darren Bent if they wish to prise the striker away from Villa Park.
