West Bromwich Albion want Romaine Sawyers as Nacer Chadli replacement?

West Bromwich Albion boss Darren Moore will reportedly move for Brentford midfielder Romaine Sawyers, should Nacer Chadli leave the club.

Chadli, who has a £17m relegation release clause in his contract, is expected to be snapped up following his impressive performances for Belgium at the World Cup.

The report from the Express & Star adds that Moore, who worked with Sawyers when the midfielder was in West Brom's youth setup, will look to bring the 26-year-old back to The Hawthorns ahead of a promotion push next season.

The newspaper says that, although Brentford would be unhappy to lose Sawyers, who made 42 Championship appearances last term, any sale would present a profit following the midfielder's free transfer to the Bees from Walsall.

Sawyers scored four goals and assisted four others in the second tier last term.
