"I've spoken to David Thompson and his agent," manager Bryan Robson told Albion's official website.
"We've said we've got an interest and the chairman is going to speak to them. We'll see how it goes but there's a long way to go with that.
"I've only had a half-hour chat with both of them but I think he's got other offers on the table. We'll just have to wait and see how it goes."
