West Bromwich Albion are in talks to sign the highly talented Fulham midfielder in the January transfer window.

According to reports from The Mirror, West Brom are in talks with the Championship club Fulham over a move for their skipper Tom Cairney.

Alan Pardew’s side secured their first win in the Premier League since August last week when they defeated Brighton 2-0 at the Hawthorns.

The former Crystal Palace manager is looking to bolster several areas of the pitch in January as he looks to take the Baggies to mid-table safety with only 15 games left to play.

The reports claim that the Baggies are ready to launch a move for the talented midfielder this month, and the Premier League club are prepared to pay £15 million for Cairney.

West Brom have made an opening bid of £12 million, but are looking to increase their offer. The 26-year-old midfielder was targeted by Newcastle United last summer, and a £20 million bid from the Magpies was rejected by Fulham.

He has made more than 100 appearances for Fulham since joining from Blackburn Rovers in 2015.

However, this time the Cottagers could listen to the offer, as they look to cash in on Cairney to raise funds to sign a striker in January.
