West Brom eager to sign Newcastle defender Clark

West Bromwich Albion are interested in signing Newcastle United centre-back Ciaran Clark in the January transfer window, according to a report on the Daily Mail.

West Brom manager Darren Moore is desperate to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window and Clark is one of his top targets.

Clark played in the 2-1 defeat at home to Wolves on Sunday as the Magpies begin to pick up some defensive injuries.

With a busy fixture schedule coming up, Rafa Benitez may give Clark some more playing time before the transfer window opens next month.

The Baggies are looking to push for automatic promotion back to the Premier League and Clark will give them that extra defensive quality and experience.

With Newcastle battling to survive relegation, it is difficult to see them letting Clark leave halfway through the season.

The Republic of Ireland international has also managed to get his name on the scoresheet twice this season.
