Djimi in demand

The former Laval defender is expected to be available for £1m and West Brom may face competition for his signature from Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers, both of whom have courted the 24-year-old in the past.

"As far as I'm concerned he is looking forward to playing for West Brom next season," said Traore's agent Willie McKay. "But there are other clubs interested."
