West Bromwich Albion are chasing Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha.
The People says Onuoha is set to sign for Roy Hodgson's West Brom in a £3million deal when the transfer window opens.
Onuoha is frozen out at City and available for sale - with boss Roberto Mancini relegating him to sub for the Carling Cup 'reserve' team. Mancini now rates Onuoha as his fifth choice, a massive fall from grace for the home-grown star.
The former England Under-21 defender has been exiled since returning from Sunderland on loan, but now his agony should be over with a move to the Baggies in the New Year.
