Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion have been linked with a move for West Ham’s James Tomkins by the Daily Mail.

Crystal Palace and Sunderland are also thought to be interested in the centre back’s services.

Although Tomkins is a popular figure amongst supporters, the centre-back was restricted to 25 appearances last season for the Hammers, who finished in seventh place in the Premier League under Slaven Bilic.

Despite signing a new five-year-contract last year, the 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Olympic Stadium this summer and the Mail are claiming that Stoke and West Brom are the latest clubs who are interested in signing him.
