Sheffield Wednesday are one of a number of League One clubs chasing a deal for West Bromwich Albion attacker Rayhaan Tulloch in January.

Wednesday want West Brom talent Tulloch

The Daily Mail report that West Brom are considering allowing Tulloch to leave The Hawthorns on loan next month.

Valerian Ismael wants Tulloch to play more first-team football to aid his development, with senior action at West Brom hard to come by.

With just one minute of Championship action this season, Tulloch is in danger of stalling at West Brom.

It’s stated that Wednesday want to sign Tulloch on loan but face major competition for his signature.

Plymouth Argyle, MK Dons and Fleetwood Town are also thought to be interested in Tulloch, meaning Wednesday face a fight.

Moore could use his West Brom connections

Wednesday boss Moore worked as a youth coach at West Brom, and that is likely to be driving the interest in Tulloch.

Moore took the bold decision to sign Saido Berahino on deadline day, having worked with him at West Brom.

Moore will likely still have contacts within West Brom who can not only offer recommendation about Tulloch, but possibly help a deal go through.

Wednesday are chasing a play-off spot in League One, and may need that additional firepower from Tulloch to get into the top six.
