West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa are both interested in signing Jake Livermore from Hull City.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa are set to battle it out for Hull City midfielder Jake Livermore.
West Brom have made a £10 million offer for former Tottenham Hotspur man, as they look to jump to head of the queue to sign him.
Livermore has impressed for Hull this season, despite being used in central defence on occasion.
And Pulis believes that Livermore’s arrival would bolster his midfield options, at a time when they are short.
Pulis has admitted recently that he was gutted to miss out on signing Morgan Schneiderlin from Manchester United, and the Welsh boss is eager to make sure that his side add a new central midfielder.
Villa also have an eye on the 27-year-old, as Steve Bruce eyes up a reunion.
Bruce worked with Livermore at Hull, and would like to bring him to Villa Park.
Villa reportedly have enough money to buy Livermore, but whether the player would be willing to take the step down to the Championship remains to be seen.
