Lambert set for West Brom medical

Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert will undergo a medical at West Brom after they had a bid accepted for the England international. Press Association Sport understands the offer is just under £3million and the 33-year-old will now travel to the Midlands to complete the deal.Lambert's arrival at Anfield just over a year ago from Southampton for £4m was touted as a dream return for a player rejected by the club's academy.However, although he made 36 appearances most of those were as a substitute, and he struggled to get a run in the side, even with main striker Daniel Sturridge injured, as he did not really fit manager Brendan Rodgers' style.He scored just three goals, two of those in back-to-back Premier League matches in November when he was given a chance to start, but never really looked like a long-term option.
