According to the Daily Mail, Cardiff City striker Ibrahim Meite is set to leave the club on a free transfer next month – and West Bromwich Albion are keen.

Meite, 22, started out in non-league with Kingstonian and Harrow Borough, where his six goals in 16 games earned him a 2017 move to Cardiff City.

Despite his potential, Meite has only managed two appearances for Cardiff, and went out on loan to Crawley Town last season, scoring three times in 22 games.

Meite seemingly has no chance at Premier League football with Cardiff, and has recently been on trial with Russian side Ural in an attempt to engineer an exit.

Now, the Daily Mail report that a host of clubs are keen on Meite, with Watford and West Brom believed to be interested.

Meite will allegedly be allowed to leave South Wales on a free transfer in January, with Saint-Etienne and Hannover also thought to be in the race.

West Brom do have Jay Rodriguez, Dwight Gayle and Hal Robson-Kanu, but may feel that Meite has some untapped potential, and could bring him in as a January punt on a free transfer.
