LONDON (AFP) - West Brom could be ready to take a gamble on injury-plagued former England midfielder Owen Hargreaves who has been released by Premier League champions Manchester United.
West Brom's sporting and technical director Dan Ashworth said on Saturday that the club hopes to set up a meeting with the 30-year-old Hargreaves, who has played only 27 games in the past four years due to chronic knee problems.
"We have been in talks with Owen. He's based over in the United States at the moment so we might try to get to meet him in the next week or so and see if he would consider coming to us," said Ashworth.
"If Owen is fit to play Premier League football, it is a no-brainer. Make no mistake, Owen Hargreaves is a fantastic player. He's shown he's a top, top player from his England, Manchester United and Bayern Munich days.
"Obviously, Owen has had a few medical issues over the last few years. But we would be absolutely delighted to get a fit Owen Hargreaves. That would be a wonderful signing for us."
