West Brom boss Roberto Di Matteo has admitted to holding an interest in Crystal Palace starlet Victor Moses.

The highly-rated 19-year-old has emerged as a target for a number of clubs ahead of the January transfer window, with a host of Premier League sides believed to be among those tracking his progress.

Moses is widely regarded as one of the hottest prospects in English football and Palace have begrudgingly accepted that he is likely to move on sooner rather than later.

Eagles boss Neil Warnock has admitted that he expects a sale to be pushed through in the New Year, with the experienced coach prepared to let the youngster leave in order to further his career.

The impending battle for his signature is expected to be fierce, but that has not persuaded Baggies coach Di Matteo that he would better advised to try his luck elsewhere.

"We are working behind the scenes and have a number of players we are watching - and Victor is one of them," the Italian told West Brom's official website.

"He did well against us in September, but I've known of him since before then and have watched his development."
