Quintet in West Bromwich Albion contract talks?

West Bromwich Albion have reportedly opened up contract negotiations with five players.

According to The Telegraph, defender Craig Dawson is the closest to committing to fresh terms, with a three-year extension all but agreed.

The report adds that talks are also underway with James Morrison, Jonas Olsson, Gareth McAuley and Stephane Sessegnon, all of whom are out of contract at The Hawthorns in the summer.

The Baggies are in action this Wednesday when they take on Peterborough United in a FA Cup replay.
