After taking Albion from the Championship drop zone to a play-off semi-final in less than two seasons - Corberan has continually cropped up on club's radars.

In the past he has been linked with West Ham, Leeds and Leicester - and again this week he was named as one of the front runners for the vacant Foxes job.

He was asked about the links after Tuesday's draw against Sunderland, but now Albion fans have been handed a boost.

It has emerged that Leicester will be targeting a free agent and will be unwilling to pay compensation.

That rules Corberan out of the running as he has a release clause in his contract believed to be in the region of £2.5m.

And it has since been reported that the Foxes are closing in on naming former Man United striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy, following his departure from United after a spell as interim boss.
