Knighton Matt Posted 5 August 2005 Share Posted 5 August 2005 West Bromwich Albion want to sign Wigan striker Nathan Ellington - but will not let Robert Earnshaw go in exchange.Ellington has 12 months left on his current deal and has so far resisted Wigan's plea to sign a new contract. Tony Finnegan, Ellington's agent, confirmed: "I can't deny Albion are interested in him. "Their chief scout Bobby Hope has liked him ever since he was at Bristol Rovers four years ago, but at the time there was different management at the club." But Baggies' boss Bryan Robson insisted there was no chance of Wales striker Earnshaw moving in the opposite direction as part of the deal. He said: "Earnie scored 11 goals for us last season - if you go out and try to buy somebody who can score 11 in the Premiership it is really difficult. "He is an important part of the squad and he knows that." Ellington joined Wigan in 2002 for a club record £1.2m from Bristol Rovers Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
