Tony Pulis has made a £10million bid for Hull City midfielder Jake Livermore, as he gears up for a frantic week of transfer business.

Pulis, the West Bromwich Albion head coach, is moving for long-term target Livermore after missing out on Morgan Schneiderlin.

Livermore was wanted by Pulis during the Welshman’s spell at Crystal Palace and it is understood an offer has been lodged over the past 24 hours.

The 27-year-old was surprisingly benched by new manager Marco Silva for Saturday's game against Bournemouth and a move to the Hawthorns could appeal as West Brom battle to secure a place in next season’s Europa League.
