Bristol City star to join West Brom on loan
West Bromwich Albion are signing Andreas Weimann on loan from Bristol City in a deal that will see Taylor Gardner-Hickman go the other way on a permanent transfer.
Austria international Weimann, 32, has scored over 50 goals for Bristol City since joining from Derby County in 2018 and Carlos Corberan hopes his experience and goal threat can give his Albion side an extra cutting edge as they chase promotion.
Versatile defender Gardner-Hickman has been on loan from West Brom at Ashton Gate this season, making 23 appearances, and figured in their FA Cup draw with West Ham.

Brentford enquire about Marseille left back
Brentford have asked about Marseille's Brazilian international left back Renan Lodi as Thomas Frank looks to fortify his back line in the January transfer window.

As a result, the west London outfit are at risk of being drawn into the relegation battle and are dangling precariously close to the bottom three on 19 points in 16th.
