West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace says he is confident that Leeds target Kevin Phillips will sign a new deal at the Hawthorns.
The 34-year-old striker is out of contract at the end of June, enabling him to leave on a free transfer, with a host of clubs keeping tabs on his situation including the Whites, Stoke and QPR.
But Peace has stated that there is a 'willingness from both sides' to agree on a new deal and Albion remain hopeful that the striker's future still remains at the Hawthorns.
Peace told the Birmingham Mail: "It's a work in progress and we will get to a conclusion one way or the other.
"Either Kevin will go with our blessing to wherever he is going because we have had a very full negotiation, or Kevin will stay and everything is fine.
"It's a big world and Kevin can go if he wants to, but similarly he could stay and I think there is a willingness on both sides to progress it."
