West Brom want Kyle Bartley – Leeds United should make his signing a priority

According to reports from The Mirror (transfer live blog, July 5, 18:27 pm), West Bromwich Albion are trying to sign Swansea City’s centre-back Kyle Bartley in the summer transfer window.

The Baggies are desperate for defensive reinforcement and are keen to sign the £4million-rated centre-back.

With Jonny Evans leaving the club, and the futures of Craig Dawson (who has slapped in a transfer request) and Ahmed Hegazi in serious doubt, West Brom are looking at new faces to rebuild the squad.

The 27-year-old is under contract at Swansea till 2021, but there is a strong interest in him from clubs like Leeds and Birmingham.
