Roy Hodgson expects new contract talks with West Bromwich Albion to soon intensify.

Hodgson's deal runs out this summer but he has often indicated he is happy at The Hawthorns.

He said: "I've talked about it lots of times. We've broached the subject over a long period of time.

"As we reach the end of the season, I'm sure the talks will hot up between the club and my advisor and we will see where that takes us.

"I have said on many occasions I like the club, like the people and I'm enjoying myself.

"But if I'm going to continue working here year after year, I want to do it at the level I feel I should be working at, which is the Premier League."
