Report: West Bromwich Albion to launch £10m Chris Smalling bid

West Bromwich Albion have readied a £10m offer for Manchester United defender Chris Smalling, according to reports.

The 27-year-old, who joined from Fulham in 2010, is rumoured to be surplus to requirements at Old Trafford following the arrival of Victor Lindelof.

According to The Sun, Baggies manager Tony Pulis is keen to sign Smalling and pair him with former Red Devils teammate Jonny Evans in defence.

The report goes on to say that West Brom are set to launch an official bid once back from Hong Kong following their participation in the Premier League Asia Trophy.

Leicester City, Crystal Palace and Stoke City are also said to be keen on the 31-cap England international, whose Man United contract expires in 2019.
