Richardson set for Baggies

West Brom are set to sign Manchester United youngster Kieran Richardson on loan for the remainder of the season.

Albion boss Bryan Robson is confident that the 20-year-old will have moved to the Hawthorns before the transfer window closes on Monday.

Richardson was identified by Robson as one of the best of the current crop of youngsters at Old Trafford.

His former boss Alex Ferguson is keen for Richardson to gain regular Barclays Premiership experience and he is likely to make his debut for the Baggies against Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

Meanwhile Albion are still optimistic of signing Burnley teenager Richard Chaplow after making a third offer for the player late on Friday evening.

Albion have had a second bid rejected yesterday but Robson is determined to land the player in the next 48 hours.

Burnley are understood to be looking for around £2m (€2.8m) for the 19-year-old.

Albion striker Rob Hulse could be heading out of the club with Leeds understood to want to sign the player in a £1m plus deal.

Hulse rejected a move to Stoke last week after the two clubs had agreed a £1.2m (€1.7m) deal for the former Crewe player.
