The former Fulham striker has been linked with a move to West Bromwich Albion.

West Bromwich Albion have reportedly made a €5 million (£4.42 million) offer for Trabzonspor striker Hugo Rodallega.

The experienced forward, who possesses plenty of experience of English football, has scored eleven goals in 15 appearances for Trabzonspor this season across all competitions and is wanted by West Brom, as reported by The Birmingham Mail.

Rodallega scored 24 goals in 117 appearances for Wigan Athletic between 2007 and 2009, before joining Fulham, where he spent three years and found the net 19 times in 84 games.

It is clear that West Brom need to bolster their attacking options, with Salomon Rondon and Jay Rodriguez their joint leading goalscorers across all competitions this season with just three goals each.

However, bringing in Rodallega, who has never scored more than ten goals during a Premier League season, may not be the wisest move.

In addition, at the age of 32, Rodallega will surely not be as quick as he previously was, and West Brom should look elsewhere as they aim to strengthen their attacking options.

West Brom are currently languishing in 19th place in the Premier League and host Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
