West Bromwich Albion are trying to keep hold of striker Tom Fellows amid increasing interest from Championship rivals Leicester City and Southampton.
The highly rated 20-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and Albion are keen to get him to sign new terms.
Fellows played for the club from Under 10 level and impressed in their youth sides and in the Premier League 2 as he rose through the ranks.
Last season he was loaned out to Crawley Town and featured in the first team under coach Carlos Corberan.
Albion are on the verge of being taken over and the potential new owners have already indicated that they want Fellows to stay, but Leicester and Southampton see an opportunity to acquire a young, versatile player with potential and are keeping an eye on developments for January.
