West Brom captain Darren Fletcher is on the brink of landing a new deal.
Fletcher is close to triggering a one-year contract extension.
The midfielder will earn an extra 12 months at The Hawthorns in the New Year once he plays a certain amount of games.
That is likely to come early in 2017 which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2018 and Albion will also speak to him about his long-term future.
Boss Tony Pulis said: "Darren has a clause in his contract, I believe, where if he plays a certain amount of games he gets an extension.
"I'm not sure how many games he is away from that but I would imagine he will get there before the end of the season and it would be brilliant for the football club because he's a brilliant fella.
"Not just on the pitch but off the pitch, he is a fantastic lad around the dressing room and around the other players.
"As I keep saying, we're trying to put something together that is not just about the first team but is about what is happening below it as well and Darren has been fantastic with the young players."
