West Bromwich Albion are said to have had a £400,000 offer accepted for the right-back.

A player West Bromwich Albion reportedly tried and failed to sign last summer could now be on the move to Scotland.

According to The Sun, West Brom could not agree personal terms with the right-back, Tom James, despite having a £400,000 bid accepted by Yeovil Town.

And the same newspaper claims he is now on the brink of joining Hibernian, despite having interest from unnamed Championship clubs.

Whether or not West Brom are one of those remains to be seen, but the Baggies have seen two of their right-backs, Mason Holgate and Tyrone Mears depart since the end of last season, with another one, Allan Nyom, expected to be sold.

West Brom have, however, changed managers since first being linked with James.

And according to Sky Sports, Albion are currently in talks to sign the Arsenal right-back Carl Jenkinson, who is known to the new Hawthorns boss, Slaven Bilic.

Would James have been a good addition for West Brom?
