WBA Baggies World - Baggies Chase Gunner Ray Parlour

Baggies Chase Gunner Ray Parlour


By Martyn Todd
June 7 2004

West Brom are confirmed to be one of the clubs chasing Arsenal man Ray Parlour. The two clubs have been in talks with each other about securing the services of the 31-year-old midfield man It was reported last month that Parlour had rejected a move to the Hawthorns as he believed he may still have a chance of being a first-team regular for next season, but with the signing of Robin van Persie and the rumours of more possible midfield signings, it is believed Parlour will be left on the sidelines for most of the coming season.

Albion are one of possibly 3 clubs interested in the former England international, but as he is not officially available, and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has yet to indicate whether or not the midfielder is in his plans for next season, the Baggies may have to break their transfer record as-well as their wage cap in order to stand a chance of bringing Parlour to the club.

Meanwhile, Albion will step up their interest in Liverpool man Djimi Traore next week when chairman Rick Parry comes back from his family holiday. It was orginally reported that Albion will pay a fee of around £1million for the former Laval left-back, but with the signing of Martin Albrechtsen last week, it is likely Albion will opt for a season-long loan for the Liverpool man.
