West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis remains hopeful of landing Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher.
The Scot has been granted a free transfer by United and West Ham United are regarded as favourites for his signature.
But he has yet to sign for Sam Allardyce's side with sources in London hinting at possible wrangling over personal terms which could bring rival clubs including Albion back into play.
The Express & Star says the Baggies are remaining tight-lipped but are holding out hope he could opt for a move to The Hawthorns, with the club's closer location to his North West family home potentially in their favour.
