QPR defender and ex-Liverpool loanee Steven Caulker is ready to snub Crystal Palace and join West Brom, reports say.

The 24-year-old has endured a difficult couple of seasons and only made six league appearances in two loan spells at Southampton and Liverpool.

Caulker is expected to leave QPR this summer and West Brom and Palace are both interested in a deal, according to the Daily Mail.

However, it is claimed the England international would favour a move to the Hawthorns rather than joining Alan Pardew’s Palace.

Caulker spend the second-half of last season with Liverpool but quickly fell down Jurgen Klopp’s pecking order and was limited to substitute appearances.
