West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has confirmed interest in Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher.
Tony Pulis has admitted West Bromwich Albion are in talks to sign the 30-year-old Scot and Allardyce hopes Fletcher will make a final decision soon.
"We've had no permission to speak to Darren Fletcher," Allardyce said.
"He's got quite a few clubs interested in him so when he makes his mind up everyone will know.
"I don't know what the timeline is. If any of the other packages offered to him are accepted then we would accept that.
"Or if they hadn't made their mind up or were negotiating somewhere else that would be it. We can't wait forever.
"I always think at this stage of the window, if you do get something nailed on you have to take it because you might end up with nothing if you don't."
