West Brom boss Tony Mowbray is reportedly ready to test Rangers' resolve with a £4 million summer bid for midfield lynchpin Kevin Thomson, while Zoltan Gera could be on his way out of the club.

The 23-year-old played under Mowbray during the Albion boss's stint in charge of Hibernian, who sold Thomson to the Ibrox giants for £2 million.

The Baggies were linked with a move for the midfielder before he plumped for a move to the Gers - but Mowbray is ready to reignite his interest after steering Albion into the Premier League, according to the Express & Star.

Thomson was a first-team regular under Walter Smith last season, making 25 SPL appearances and 11 starts in their run to the UEFA Cup final.

But Mowbray feels he would be the perfect midfield partner for Albion skipper Jonathan Greening, as well as giving the Baggies some bite in the middle of the park.

Gers chief Smith is ironically believed to be pondering a bid for Greening, but Albion are more likely to lodge just a straight-cash offer for Thomson.

Meanwhile, Gera's agent expects the Hungarian playmaker to leave The Hawthorns after receiving lucrative offers from other clubs.

Fulham are believed to be leading the chase for Gera, who will be out of contract at the end of this month.

Premier League rivals Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Everton, Bolton and Wigan have also been linked with the 29-year-old.

West Brom have made Gera a final contract offer to extend his stay at the club, but the player's agent Vladan Filipovic has revealed that the midfielder is set to turn down the deal.

Filipovic insists the player will make a decision on his future in the next few days.

"There are two or three clubs interested in Zoltan and he has received offers from some," Filipovic told Sky Sports. "West Brom have made him a final offer and in my opinion he will leave as he has better offers from other clubs. Zoltan will make a decision on who he will join in the next few days."
