The agent of New York Red Bulls defender Tim Ream has confirmed the interest of West Bromwich Albion and Bolton Wanderers.

Ream is heading to England for a training stint during the MLS offseason.

"Both clubs have admired Tim for some time and it affords both parties a chance to see each other up close," Ream's agent, Patrick McCabe, told MLSsoccer.com.

"[West Brom's] Roy Hodgson and [Bolton's] Owen Coyle are top managers, and above all this will be a good opportunity for Tim's professional development."
