Liverpool and Aston Villa keeping tabs on West Brom star

The Mirror reports that West Brom boss Roy Hodgson is ready to offer Brunt a new deal in a bid to kill off interest from their rival Premier League clubs.

Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli is reportedly a huge admirer of the midfielder and could make a move this summer.

Villa are looking to strengthen their midfield this summer as Ashley Young is expected to leave at the end of the season.
