Bundesliga Borussia Dortmund are happy to let Andre Schurrle leave on loan with Premier League trio West Bromwich Albion keen.

Andre Schurrle’s reputation has declined considerably since he set up Mario Goetze’s winner in the 2014 World Cup final.

A spell at Wolfsburg proved a huge disappointment and it’s fair to say his 18 months at Borussia Dortmund have not gone to plan either. Since becoming BVB’s £30 million club-record signing, per Eurosport, Schurrle has scored just twice in 19 Bundesliga appearances.

As such, Dortmund have offered the out-of-favour winger to a number of Premier League sides this month as they aim to get him off their wage bill. And The Mail understands that West Bromwich Albion have shown interest in the former Chelsea attacker.

Baggies manager Alan Pardew has been searching high and low for more firepower to improve the Premier League’s third worst attack and Schurrle, if he can rediscover the form of his early Chelsea days, could be a fine addition on loan.

West Brom are not the only Premier League side who have been linked with Schurrle of late, however.

The Sun stated at the weekend that fellow relegation scrappers Newcastle United and Stoke City were also interested in the one-time Bayer Leverkusen wonderkid.

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez wants more creativity and goal threat in his attack and Schurrle, who netted eight times in 15 starts during his 2013/14 debut league season with Chelsea, could fit the bill.

Struggling Stoke, too, could do with a player of Schurrle’s ilk with the Potters still worryingly reliant upon a 36-year-old Peter Crouch.
