Baggies reveal Luyindula interest
West Brom boss Tony Mowbray has confirmed interest in Paris St Germain striker Péguy Luyindula.

The 29-year French international is one of a number of objectives for the Premier League bottom club in January.

"I think Luyindula is a player who was raised with a few different clubs," said Mowbray BBC WM.

"I think it is probably more from Paris, seeking to spend perhaps on him, but he is a player we have spoken and watched."

The former Strasbourg, Lyon and Marseille striker has scored over 100 goals in Ligue 1 in France, enjoyed a brief stint in the Spanish League Levante, and has won four caps for his country, scoring once.

"I played against Manchester City this year in the group stages of the Uefa Cup," noted Mowbray.

"I have to make this event as another player, another to end the speculation."

Boro's Walker faces six weeks out
Middlesbrough midfielder Josh Walker will be out for up to six weeks after tests showed torn lateral ligaments from Saturday's derby with Sunderland.

Walker, 19, made his full debut in the game after loan spells with Bournemouth and Aberdeen and manager Gareth Southgate is disappointed by the news.

"The injury is a real blow to him," Southgate told BBC Tees after the game.

"He went over on his ankle and he was naturally upset when he had to come off because he had taken his chance well."

The Newcastle-born teenager has captained England at under-16, under-17, under-18 and represented the side at under-19 level.
