Koren’s Albion release sparks interest
Tuesday 18th May 2010, 10:57AM BST.
Koren bounced back to score eight goals as Albion returned to the Premier League, but it was not enough to earn him a new deal.
Released Albion midfielder Robert Koren has sparked a flurry of interest in his services – but Wolves are not in the running for the Slovenia captain.
The player’s agent today claimed a host of clubs have already shown an interest in the 29-year-old, just a day after the Baggies announced they would not take up their year’s option to keep him.
But Wolves are not among the clubs chasing the double promotion-winner.
German side Hannover and Scottish giants Celtic are thought to be among the clubs in the field, but agent Zoran Krneta reckons Koren is keen to stay in England.
His representative is expecting stiff competition for the player’s signature with Newcastle, Fulham and Swansea all said to be keeping tabs.
Krneta said: “In my opinion we will get at least 10 offers for Robert.
“There are a lot of interested clubs and I can reveal that in the first two hours after the news was published on West Bromwich Albion’s website, I got calls from four clubs.
“He is the one who will choose his club, but I guess he will look for a good contract.”
