Tom Cairney should not be the only player West Bromwich Albion target from the Championship this month.

Tom Cairney of Fulham skips past Cole Skuse of Ipswich during the Sky Bet Championship match between Fulham and Ipswich Town at Craven Cottage on January 2, 2018 in London, England.

West Bromwich Albion want to sign Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney for around £12million according to Sky Sports.

The 26-year-old scored 13 goals last season as he helped Fulham reach the Championship play-offs. Baggies boss Alan Pardew is desperate to bolster his squad this month and is on the look out for attack minded players.

The Championship may be his best source if he is to add quantity as well as quality. Here are three other Championship players who Albion would be doing themselves no harm in signing.

Bobby Reid

Bobby Reid has really blossomed this season and has been one of the standout performers in the Championship. The attacking midfielder, comfortable down the middle or on the flanks, has scored 14 goals so far this campaign and looks a player destined for the Premier League.

He is quick, has good feet and has already impressed against the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City. He will give Pardew something different up top and he is someone whose confidence is sky high at the moment.

Jarrod Bowen

Jarrod Bowen has had an excellent breakthrough season at Hull City this term. The 21-year-old has scored 11 goals so far for the Tigers and has been the shining light of a dull campaign.

Albion strikers Salomon Rondon and Hal Robson Kanu have been underwhelming so far this season and Bowen could bring renewed energy and confidence up front. He is a lot more mobile than either West Brom man and he would be an investment for the future and someone who could grow under Pardew.

Adama Traore

West Brom have lacked pace this season and Adama Traore is lightning quick. He is a brave player not afraid to run at defences and is the perfect weapon to have on the counter attack.

He has provided a couple of assists for Middlesbrough this season so does also possess the ability to create.

Traore is inconsistent which is not the best trait to have in a relegation, yet his raw speed and power are exactly what Albion are desperate for so he would be someone worth considering.
