Liverpool Linked With Move For £9m West Brom Winger Chris Brunt

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is apparently keen on West Brom winger Chris Brunt and is looking to bring the Baggies man to Anfield in January to give his side more natural width. The Northern Ireland international has been in sparkling form this season and has been linked with a move away from the Hawthorns and Roberto Di Matteo faces a fight to keep the former Sheffield Wednesday man.

The 25 year old was instrumental in helping his side back into the Premier League last term when his 13 goals and countless assists helped the side to a runner’s up spot in the Championship. This term he has continued where he left off and is part of a very attack minded West Brom side that has had a great deal of success, especially in matches against big team opposition such as Arsenal and Man United.

The Belfast born wide man can operate on the right but is more comfortable on the left and can also operate in a floating role in front oft the central midfielders. He has a great left foot and is a set piece specialist who scores his fair share of goals and is valued at around £9m, a fee that the Merseyside outfit should more easily afford now they have new owners in charge.
