Ishmael Miller has admitted his long-term Albion future is in the balance – as the Baggies were linked with Bosnia international striker Vedad Ibisevic.

Miller insists he would be happy to return to the Hawthorns or to stay at Queens Park Rangers, where he is currently on loan.

But the 24-year-old former Manchester City man – who has made four starts and five substitute appearances for QPR and scored once – insists talks about his future can wait until the summer.

He said: “I’ve had a lot of injuries, which have stalled my career at West Brom a little and I just needed something to inject a bit of confidence back in my game.

“It was nice to get the phone call from QPR manager Neil Warnock and he is a great guy at a great club, so I couldn’t really say no.

“West Brom have got a great squad there, with a new manager in place since I left, but I was happy there and I am happy here, so I’m not sure what will happen this summer.

“They could change divisions this summer, but hopefully West Brom can stay up and be joined by QPR next season.

“I’m not really thinking about my long-term future now because I’m just happy to be playing games again.

“I’m not putting any pressure on either club to make a decision and I will be happy to be playing at either club next season.”

Miller has endured an injury-ravaged spell at the Hawthorns since moving from City under Tony Mowbray.

And stories today claim Ibisevic is a possible target for the Baggies, who watched his German club, Hoffenheim, in January and enquired about teammate Demba Ba, who eventually moved to West Ham.

The 26-year-old is highly-rated in Germany having scored 37 times in 90 appearances for the Bundesliga side, and has seven goals in 27 games for Bosnia.

With Roman Bednar set to depart and Miller’s future uncertain, the Baggies look certain to be in the market for forwards in the summer whether they are in the Premier League or the Championship.

But Albion will wait until they know the outcome of their survival fight before making any firm moves into the summer transfer market.
