West Bromwich Albion are linked with a move for Belgian international Nicolas Lombaerts.

West Bromwich Albion are reportedly lining up a January bid for Zenit St Petersburg defender Nicolas Lombaerts.

Baggies boss Tony Pulis is aiming to secure the Belgian's signature in a deal worth £5m ahead of next week's transfer deadline, according to The Sun.

Lombaerts is said to be keen to leave Zenit after falling out of favour with manager Mircea Lucescu.

The 6'2" defender, who has turned out 39 times for Belgium, joined the Russian club following three years at Gent.

West Brom are expected to be in the market for defenders following an injury to Jonny Evans.
