Town and West Brom are reported to be in talks regarding keeper Márton Fülöp moving to the Hawthorns. The Hungarian moving on would come as little surprise with the Blues signing Fulham’s David Stockdale on a season-long loan last week.

Fülöp, 28, is said to be viewed as potential back-up for Ben Foster, who recently joined from Birmingham on loan for the 2011/12 campaign. West Brom signed former Town defender Gareth McAuley on a Bosman free transfer earlier in the summer after the Northern Irishman turned down a new deal at Portman Road.

Speaking after the addition of Stockdale, Blues boss Paul Jewell said the move didn’t mean Fülöp’s time at Town was at an end, however, the former Sunderland and Tottenham man, who was linked with Turkish side Bursaspor earlier in the summer, is almost certain to want to play first team football at this stage in his career, having lost his place in the Hungary squad in recent months.

The Blues are also said to have made Fülöp’s fellow Hungarian Tamás Priskin available for £500,000 with the 24-year-old’s former loan club Swansea again claimed to be interested.

Priskin’s exit would come as no shock with the ex-Watford man having been off-loaded to the Swans on loan last season and appearing well down the pecking order in pre-season.
