West Brom are eyeing departing Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson.

The Mirror says Hodgson is on the short-list of those to replace Sam Allardyce as the hunt for a new Hawthorns supremo continues.

Ex-Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is still the favourite to take the position with Barnsley's Valerian Ismael also high up on the list.

But the Baggies' decision-makers are considering a shock move for the former England boss who masterminded the club's highest-ever Premier League finish of ninth a decade ago.

Hodgson is believed to be open to the idea of returning to frontline football - and he would be allowed to take long-time Palace assistant Ray Lewington to the Black Country with him.
