# West Brom to make move for Everton midfielder

It looks as though West Brom haven’t given up hope in their pursuit of Everton midfielder Gareth Barry.

According to a report from the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4763184/Transfer-news-LIVE-Follow-latest-news.html) today, Tony Pulis is keen to add the experienced midfielder to his ranks ahead of the upcoming campaign, which kicks off in under a week.

Barry isn’t looking to be poised for too many first-team opportunities under Ronald Koeman, given [Everton](https://readeverton.com/)’s plethora of midfield options. This means that he could seek a move away from Goodison Park as he approaches the final years of his career.

Pulis still needs to tackle the task of replacing Darren Fletcher with a new midfielder after the Scotsman secured a move to [Stoke City](https://readstoke.com/) earlier on in the window.

It’s stated that the Baggies will offer Barry a two-year contract at the club as they look to lure more reinforcements to the Hawthorns before the close of the window.
