West Bromwich Albion are closing in on the signing of Everton midfielder Gareth Barry.

The former Aston Villa and Manchester City man has reported for a medical and is due to be announced of Albion's third signing of the summer today.

Everton boss Ronald Koeman grudgingly agreed to let the 36-year-old leave Goodison Park for first team football.

Baggies manager Tony Pulis hopes the former England international will fill the void left by Darren Fletcher's move to Stoke City.

Speaking after Everton's win over Stoke on Saturday, Koeman said: "If players are unhappy... Gareth is a great professional and I’m happy if he will stay but if he will like to move, OK, we will see what happens. I don’t know."

Barry is in the final year of his contract at Everton.
