David James has admitted he will probably leave Portsmouth and wants to stay in the Premier League, news which will interest West Brom.[LNB] The veteran keeper is currently preoccupied with events in South Africa.[LNB]But his contract with the Fratton Park outfit is due to expire in less than a week's time and although there has been talk of it being renewed, James wants to remain in the top flight.[LNB]Having reclaimed his place in the England starting line-up, the 39-year-old's gut feeling is understandable, although he has no desire to get side-tracked by such talk just now.[LNB]"Of course I want to play on. I want to play Premier League football," he said.[LNB]"But my future is not something I am thinking about at the minute."[LNB]Baggies boss Roberto Di Matteo is a firm admirer of James and has long been linked with a move for the former Liverpool stopper.[LNB]Scott Carson is currently Albion's number one but Di Matteo is keen to strengthen his goalkeeping options as he plots the club's survival bid.[LNB]James, meanwhile, is focused on keeping Germany at bay in Bloemfontein on Sunday.
