West Bromwich Albion face a battle to keep hold of Adil Nabi.

The Express & Star says Aston Villa are reportedly preparing a shock move for West Brom youngster Nabi, after the 20-year-old scored a hat-trick for the Baggies against their Under-21 side.

Nabi has yet to make a first-team appearance and his current deal expires at the end of the season, although the club do want to keep him.

A loan move this month has been mooted for the young attacker.
