Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis is aiming to sign James Morrison from West Brom.
The Scotland international is a free-agent after his contract expired with the Baggies at the end of last season.
The 32-year-old is still training with the Baggies in order to maintain fitness but they have yet to agree on a deal.
The Baggies are expected to undergo major changes this summer as they prepare for life in the Championship and they will offload many players as they look to reduce their wage bill.
He is however free to speak to Boro.
