West Brom are due to hold talks with Rickie Lambert’s representatives in the next 24 hours, according to Sky sources
Albion boss Tony Pulis is expected to step up his bid to sign the Liverpool striker after returning from the club’s recent pre-season tour of the US.
Lambert has one year remaining on his current contract but has fallen down the pecking order since joining from Southampton last summer.
The 33-year-old, who has scored just three goals in 36 appearances for the Reds, is likely to see his chances of first-team football diminish further with the expected arrival of Christian Benteke from Aston Villa.
Lambert turned down a deadline day move to Aston Villa during the January transfer window to stay with the team which released him as a teenager.
Norwich City, AFC Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough have also been linked with the England international.
