West Bromwich Albion chase ex Manchester United goalkeeper

West Bromwich Albion are reportedly considering a move for former Manchester United keeper Joe Coll.

The highly-rated Irishman opted against turning professional at Old Trafford this summer and instead left the club in order to improve his potential first-team opportunities.

David De Gea, Anders Lindegaard and Ben Amos were all ahead of the 18-year-old in Sir Alex Ferguson's pecking order.

West Brom, who have already signed an ex Red Devils goalkeeper this summer in the shape of Ben Foster, are looking to add to their ranks to lend support to their first-choice stopper.

New Baggies manager Steve Clarke is poised to invite Coll to join them for pre-season training, with a view to offering him a contract at the Hawthorns, according to Sky Sports News.
