Transfer ALERT! Gareth Barry set for West Brom medical as veteran midfielder nears Everton exit

Veteran midfielder Gareth Barry is set to undergo a medical at West Brom on Tuesday ahead of a permanent move from Everton.

Tony Pulis is keen on signing the experienced star as a replacement for departed captain Darren Fletcher, who joined Stoke City on a free transfer earlier this summer.

The Baggies boss wants 36-year-old Barry as his replacement, and is hoping to wrap up a £1million deal in time for Saturday’s Premier League clash at Burnley.

He is expected to pen a one-year deal at the Hawthorns.

Barry only signed a new contract at Everton in December.
