Tony Pulis reportedly wants to raid West Bromwich Albion to reunite with Hal Robson-Kanu at Championship high-flyers Boro.
There is a good chance that Middlesbrough will need a new striker before the transfer window closes on Friday.
Patrick Bamford has already been sold to Leeds United, Rudy Gestede is on Nottingham Forest’s radar while manager Tony Pulis has confirmed to The Gazette that Martin Braithwaite is keen to leave for Spain.
This is without mentioning the £6 million man Ashley Fletcher, who TEAMtalk believe could be used in a swap deal involving Millwall midfielder George Saville.
So it is perhaps little surprise that Pulis has turned to a man he knows well – his former West Brom stalwart Hal Robson-Kanu.
It was Pulis who brought Robson-Kanu to The Hawthorns two years ago after his stunning goal against Belgium in Wales’ remarkable run to het Euro 2016 semi-finals. And the Express and Star claims that Boro have made a bid to sign the former Reading man on loan.
West Brom, however, have rebuffed the bid and it seems that Darren Moore wants to keep hold of the hard-working forward.
29-year-old Robson-Kanu has started just one of West Brom’s five Championship games so far, though he has scored in wins against Norwich City and QPR.
