West Bromwich Albion will aim to pick up their first Championship win of the year this coming Saturday versus Blackburn Rovers, with Daryl Dike potentially tipped to lead the line again for the Baggies.
Dike helped himself to a goal in West Brom’s emphatic 4-1 win over Aldershot Town in the FA Cup last weekend, shaking off any signs of rust in the process after battling to be back fit for the game at the Hawthorns.
Carlos Corberan won’t want to overload the American targetman with loads of minutes after being out for nine months, looking at what strikers are available in the transfer window this month to add more quality up top.
West Brom have been rumoured to be after hot property Kieffer Moore this month, but could opt instead to go after another target with Moore an asset that could be extremely hard to poach.
West Brom transfer latest – striker hunt
Cited as having interest in AFC Bournemouth striker Moore courtesy of the Sun this month, the Baggies are not alone by any means in their interest with Leeds United, Birmingham City, Cardiff City and Middlesbrough all named as parties who are going after the prolific second tier sharpshooter too.
West Brom could well grow tired of this transfer tussle and go more left-field as a result, with social media posts from both Sports Digitale and football journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu indicating that Fenerbahce striker Umut Nayir is now a transfer target for Corberan’s men
The hitch in that potential deal is Cardiff City are also reportedly keen on Nayir, the Bluebirds potentially having the upper hand in the deal owing to Turkish manager Erol Bulut being in charge of the club alongside other links.
