West Brom are waiting for the green light to move for West Ham defender James Collins.

The centre-half, who turns 25 next month, has emerged as a potential loan target for Tony Mowbray.

And the Welshman is now due for talks with Hammers boss Alan Curbishley to determine whether he has a future at Upton Park.

The Birmingham Mail says Collins could sign on-loan with the option for a permanent deal in January.
