Hammers midfielder could be subject of Potters bid

The Telegraph claim the midfielder is top of Potters' boss Tony Pulis' summer shopping list.

Hammers co-owner David Sullivan has revealed that any member of the current squad – with the exception of Scott Parker - could be sold for the right price.

The likes of Matthew Upson, Robert Green and Carlton Cole have all attracted admiring glances and could yet be the subject of summer bids, but it is Noble that is thought to have caught the eye of Pulis, who admits he must cut some of his own squad before next season.

“The squad is too big and we've got to shift players,” he said. “I want a leaner squad next year, but I want to try and bring in a bit more quality.”

Noble was a bit-part player for Gianfranco Zola last season and may be tempted by the offer of regular first-team football.
