West Brom were cited with interest in Reading goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi yesterday, and they have once again been linked with a move.
According to the Mirror, the Baggies are considering a swoop for the experienced shot stopper, but will be faced with competition from Leicester City in their pursuit of the Oman international.
Al-Habsi enjoyed a considerably successful season with Reading in the Championship last term, helping them to a play-off final.
The Foxes and the Baggies both appear to be keen on recruiting the Royal’s goalkeeper purely for backup reasons, given that neither side’s respective goalkeeping depth is convincing.
However, it’s likely that Al-Habsi would be keen to play in the top flight again only if he is guaranteed first-team football – which he currently has under Jaap Stam at Reading.
The veteran ‘keeper is stated to have offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia, so potential suitors may need to act fast. - Read Sport
