West Brom Hopeful On Phillips

Last updated : 13 June 2008 By Kevin Markey
The 34-year-old is out of contract at the end of June, enabling him to leave on a free transfer, with a host of clubs watching his situation including Leeds, Stoke, QPR and Derby.

Peace has admitted that there is a 'willingness from both sides' to agree a new deal and Albion remain hopeful that the striker's future still remains with them.

Peace said in the Birmingham Mail: "It's a work in progress and we will get to a conclusion one way or the other.

"Either Kevin will go with our blessing to wherever he is going because we have had a very full negotiation, or Kevin will stay and everything is fine.

"It's a big world and Kevin can go if he wants to, but similarly he could stay and I think there is a willingness on both sides to progress it."
