West Brom and Wolves are eyeing moves for out-of-favour Fulham defender Chris Baird, according to reports on Monday.[LNB] Baird has surprisingly found himself frozen out of things at Fulham since the arrival of Martin Jol as manager.[LNB]The Northern Ireland international has not been involved in Fulham's opening two Premier League games and the news has alerted Premier League rivals West Brom and Wolves.[LNB]West Brom boss Roy Hodgson is a big admirer of Baird having worked with the former Southampton man during his time in charge of Craven Cottage.[LNB]Wolves chief Mick McCarthy is also weighing up a move for Baird as he sees his versatility in that he can play in defence and midfield as a key addition to his squad.[LNB]Baird, who has been a regular in the Fulham side for the past two seasons, could be tempted to move on in search of first-team football if he does not figure in Jol's plans.
