Former Manchester united midfielder Owen Hargreaves could be on his way to West Brom after manager Roy Hodgson confirmed that a deal to sign the midfielder is edging closer. Hargreaves is available on a free transfer after he was released by Manchester United in July due to ongoing injury problems. Hargreaves only made twenty seven appearances during his four years at United however the midfielder is determined to prove his fitness. It's understood that the former Manchester United and Bayern Munich midfielder has already had a minor medical at West Brom.
Hodgson on Hargreaves' medical: A minor one, yes. If he was to join us of course he'd have a proper medical with all the scans. We haven't done that. "He came to visit with Alex McKechnie, the man who's been largely credited with supervising his revival and our expert here, Mark Gillett [the club doctor], looked at him and agreed. "If the day ever came when he was even close to signing a contract, he'd have to go through a more rigorous medical, but I quite firmly believe that he would just as easily pass that. "Alex and Owen were keen to show the doctor that the knee was fine."
