Liverpool want to recoup as much as possible of the £4.5m

Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert is undergoing a medical at West Brom ahead of his proposed move to The Hawthorns.

Lambert, who managed just three goals in 36 games for the Reds last season, had also been linked with Leicester City and Tottenham, but Tony Pulis' side lead the race to sign the 33-year-old.

Liverpool had wanted to recoup as much of last summer's £4.5million outlay to Southampton as possible, but it is understood the two clubs have agreed a deal worth around £3m for the veteran frontman.

Pulis wants attacking reinforcements to supplement Saido Berahino, who is also a target for Spurs. He has just Victor Anichebe and Brown Ideye as alternative strikers at present.

Discussions between West Brom and Lambert began earlier this week and Pulis is keen to progress a deal.

'Rickie is available. Liverpool have made that known,' said the West Brom manager on Wednesday.

'We'd be interested. It's very important that we get players who will score goals, Rickie's got a great goalscoring record.'
