City make Hartson move

Chester City have made an audacious bid to sign the former Wales international John Hartson from West Brom.
The 32-year-old recently returned to The Hawthorns after a brief loan spell at Norwich City.
City chairman Stephen Vaughan confirmed the news, saying: "We've approached West Brom with a view to taking the player on a loan arrangement, and then making the move permanent in the January transfer window.
"So far, we haven't had a response from West Brom, but the player is just one of a couple of options we've been looking at."
Injuries have restricted the much-travelled Hartson to only 16 starts for the Baggies in his 18-month spell with the club and he has failed to start an Albion game since February.
