Robson in pole position for another signing

Poland international defender Jaroslaw Bieniuk could become West Brom’s fourth summer signing if he impresses during a five-day trial with The Baggies.

The 26-year-old, who plays for Amica Wronki, could earn himself a permanent move for a fee of around £350,000 (€511,100) after being invited to the club by manager Bryan Robson.

Bieniuk, who has won seven caps for his country, has two years remaining of his current contract.

The 6ft 3in player has also admitted he would consider a move to England to further his career.

Amica officials are stressing negotiations are at only an early stage but Robson has admitted he is keen to sign another defender – and a striker – before the new season gets underway.

Amica’s vice-president Arkadiusz Kasprzak confirmed: “There has not been a formal offer as such (from West Brom) but we believe it may lead to more talks. We, as a club, have to discuss what is the right thing for us and the player.”

Robson has already signed utility player Steve Watson from Everton, midfielder Darren Carter from irmingham and ’keeper Chris Kirkland on loan from Liverpool during the close season.

He is also expecting to find out in the near future whether he can re-sign Kieran Richardson on loan, with the player due to have talks over his future with Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.

Meanwhile, three of Robson’s squad will not feature in the club’s two weekend friendlies with Cheltenham at Whaddon Road and AFC Telford at Bucks Head.

Midfielders Zoltan Gera and Junichi Inamoto plus striker Kanu have been given extra time off after featuring in recent internationals for Hungary, Japan and Nigeria respectively.
