West Brom are eyeing Everton midfielder Gareth Barry.

The Mirror says Barry is a target for West Brom boss Tony Pulis as he steps up his search for Darren Fletcher's replacement.

Pulis was gutted to lose the Scotland international's ­tenacity and experience when he agreed to join Stoke on a free transfer this summer.

But he has identified Everton midfielder Barry as the man to fill the breach on the pitch and in the dressing room.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is also keen on the former England star and has discussed taking him to Turf Moor on a season-long loan.
