West Bromwich Albion, Hull City and Watford are all said to be keen on Pepe, whom it is claimed is certain to move clubs.

West Bromwich Albion are the latest Premier League side to be credited with an interest in Angers forward Nicolas Pepe, a report on page 51 of Monday’s Sun newspaper claims.

West Brom sold Saido Berahino to Stoke City earlier this month, and are said to be looking to add to their attacking options ahead of Tuesday night’s deadline.

A enquiry for Hull City’s Abel Hernandez has been lodged, according to the Daily Mail, and it appears that Pepe is also on Tony Pulis’ radar, with the Baggies said to have declared an interest.
