Porto winger Cristian Rodriguez wanted by West Brom

Porto winger Cristian Rodriguez is wanted by West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson.

The Daily Mail says the Uruguay international is available on loan and is eager to come to England. The 26-year-old was amusingly nicknamed 'Cebolla' or 'the Onion' from his time with Penarol in Uruguay when it was said he 'made the opposing defence cry'.

Hodgson is after pace and width after losing Zoltan Gera and Chris Brunt to injury. The one problem will be selling West Brom to Rodriguez as he was keen to join a bigger club.
