Liverpool defender Djimi Traore is set to join the Baggies according to his agent Willy McKay. Albion are believed to be waiting to table a bid of around £1million for the 24 year-old former Laval centre back. Willy McKay claims "Things are being held up because Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry is on holiday but we hope to get things moving soon" The signing of Traore would be Albions second of the summer after completing the transfer of former Villa and Leicester defender/midfielder Riccardo Scimeca for an undisclosed fee.

Although Traore is looking forward to a move to the Baggies, it appears that Albion may face a battle for the Anfield man's signature. McKay claims that their a other clubs intrested in signing Traore, but he is confident he will join West Brom.
