Palermo chief admits West Brom in Vazquez contact

Palermo vice-President Guglielmo Micciche admits Franco Vazquez could be on the move to England.

Tottenham and West Brom have been linked with the Italy attacker.

“Our sporting director, [Rino] Foschi informed us that he's in talks with some English clubs regarding Franco Vazquez," Micciche confirmed.

“I think WBA are among those. The discussions are moving forward. The President [Maurizio Zamparini] has established a price which is, in our view, appropriate for the player's value.

“The more plausible idea is a sale abroad, because it's hard for someone in Italy to meet Palermo's demands.

“Milan? I can confirm that there were talks with Milan, but the phase Milan are going through [negotiations for a sale] is slowing things down and could be a deterrent.

“Vazquez is aware of the possibility of a move to the Premier League, and has given his availability for a transfer abroad."
