West Brom put Dichio up for sale

West Brom striker Danny Dichio has been transfer-listed after failing to cement a regular starting spot in the Barclaycard Premiership this season.

The 27-year-old has slipped down boss Gary Megson’s pecking order since the return of Lee Hughes earlier this season and has only scored eight times in 33 games since his £1.25m (€1.97m) switch from Sunderland last year.

Megson told the club’s official website, www.wba.co.uk: “It was a club decision but it’s the right thing for both parties.

“His family home is in London and he’s not in the side at the moment. It won’t affect his working life here but we’ll just wait and see if anybody’s got an interest in him.”
