Albion chairman Jeremy Peace broke the news on the 25-year-old strikers request but said he and Albion boss Gary Megson will discuss whether or not to grant his him his wish to leave the club later this week.

"I can confirm that Jason has handed in a written transfer request," Peace told the club's official website.

"In consultation with the manager, we will discuss it at board level on Thursday before deciding whether to place him on the transfer list.

"But I want to make it clear Jason is under contract and that we are under no pressure whatsoever to sell anyone.

"We want to build on the squad we have got and would only let one of our players go for footballing reasons."
