West Brom are reportedly also interested in signing Manolo Gabbiadini from Napoli this summer.

La Gazzetta are reporting that the Baggies have also been in touch with Napoli to enquire about the Italian’s availability in recent weeks, as they look to strengthen their attacking options.

Gabbiadini has been heavily linked with Everton recently. It was reported by Italian sources, as relayed by Football Italia, that Everton bid €30 million (£25.6 million) for his services.

That certainly seems like a lot of money for West Brom, however, the club have recently seen some new investment from China.

Saido Berahino also remains a transfer target for other clubs, although it seems he is set to remain at the Hawthorns for this season.

West Brom are short of striking options. Saido Berahino and Salomon Rondon are good options – but only have Rickie Lambert and youngster Jonathan Leko currently in reserve.

Jay Rodriguez appears to be an option, with a loan move from Southampton being mooted, but Gabbiadini would certainly be an excellent and eye-catching signing should West Brom decide to splash the cash before the transfer deadline shuts in a week.
