Albion reject Fulham bid for Greening

West Bromwich Albion captain have rejected a third offer from English Premiership side Fulham for their skipper, Jonathan Greening, the relegated Midlanders said on Friday.

The 30-year-old midfielder handed in a transfer request last month following West Brom’s relegation but the club turned down an initial two million pound (2.5 million euros) bid, then a renewed offer this week for 3.25 million and now a third for four million pounds.

The former Manchester United player – who arrived from Middlesbrough back in 2004 and has made over 200 appearances for West Brom – still has a year, plus an option of a further 12 months remaining on his contract.

Albion have offered a new four-year contract offer for Greening, but he wants to move back into the Premier League.

West Brom have meanwhile had fellow Championship outfit Coventry reject a bid for left back Danny Fox, who is reportedly set instead for a two-million-pound switch to Celtic, coached by former West Brom boss Tony Mowbray.
