West Bromwich Albion assistant boss Kevin Keen has revealed that Steven Reid's future at the club will be decided in "the next month".
It has been suggested that the 32-year-old could announce his retirement as he continues to battle injury, but Keen has hinted that there is a new offer on the table.
He told the Birmingham Mail: "In my opinion, the next month is not going to make or break whether Steven stays at the club next season.
"He's a fantastic senior professional. He's appeared in quite a few games for us this season - and in quite a few winning teams. So, I don't think whether or not he's fit for the next two or three weeks will have a massive effect on any decision that's being made.
"The supporters and press, to a certain extent, see his contribution over 90 minutes on a Saturday, but as a coaching staff and Steve (Clarke) as head coach, I think you'd say his contribution around the club is much more than that."
"He's got great experience, he's very vocal and has a lot of common sense when it comes to talking about football. We'll see what Steve, Richard (Garlick) and the chairman decide to do. But he is a fantastic person to have around the place."
West Brom currently sit eighth in the Premier League table.
