Albion are poised to sign Shrewsbury Town defender Connor Goldson, according to reports.

The 22-year-old centre-half missed Shrewsbury's 2-1 home defeat to Chesterfield last night after citing a hamstring injury.

Swindon had a £100,000 bid rejected for the Wolverhampton-born prospect last month after Leeds enquired earlier this summer.

Goldson has made 120 appearances for Shrewsbury since making his debut in a 5-1 win at Lincoln in February 2011.
