Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert is the subject of interest from West Brom.

The big frontman, who is expected to leave Anfield this summer, is wanted by Baggies boss Tony Pulis. Lambert has also been linked with Queens Park Rangers and Premier League new boys Bournemouth.

The 33-year-old turned down a £5million transfer to Aston Villa back in February but is now resigned to moving on in search of regular first-team football.

With Divock Origi and Danny Ings arriving to bolster Brendan Rodgers’ attacking options and the club pursuing a deal for Christian Benteke, Liverpool are looking to off-load Lambert, as well as fellow strikers Mario Balotelli and Fabio Borini.

West Brom have already snapped up former Liverpool scout Mel Johnson.

Johnson joined the Reds shortly after the appointment of Damien Comolli as technical director in 2010. He was heavily involved in the acquisition of Jordon Ibe from Wycombe and Sheyi Ojo from MK Dons.

The Reds parted company with Johnson as part of a shake up last November.

Johnson and fellow Baggies new recruit Andy Thorn, the former Coventry City boss, have been involved in drawing up West Brom’s list of summer targets.
