West Bromwich Albion have been linked with several strikers this month.
It is extremely clear that West Bromwich Albion need to strengthen their attacking options this month, with no player having scored more than three goals for the club this season.
One player who has been linked with a switch to West Brom is Oumar Niasse, with the striker having fallen down the pecking order at Everton as a consequence of the signing of Cenk Tosun.
As reported by The Guardian, West Brom are amongst the clubs monitoring the situation of Niasse, who is valued at £13 million, but it is questionable whether signing the 27-year-old would be a good idea.
After returning to favour, Niasse proceeded to score five goals in seven Premier League games for Everton earlier this season, but he has since gone four matches without finding the net.
West Brom have also been linked with a loan move for Liverpool striker Danny Ings, as reported by The Telegraph.
While bringing in Ings would represent something of a risk given his recent injury record, the striker offers a greater presence up front than Niasse and if he can stay fit could prove to be an inspired temporary signing for Alan Pardew’s side.
Ings, who is capable of holding the ball up well, would fit in at West Brom and would relish the opportunity to play regularly in the Premier League having had to work hard for so long to build up his fitness.
West Brom should certainly look to secure a temporary deal for Ings if possible, and the indications are that he would be a better attacking option than Niasse.
