The Burnley forward could be a fantastic addition to the West Bromwich Albion squad this summer.
West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis
Tony Pulis faces a vitally important couple of months ahead of him this summer, as he looks to bring in some quality signings that will help the Baggies kick on and make progress next season.
There are concerns amongst West Brom fans that their club will stagnate, following a series of underwhelming performances over the last few transfer windows, with Pulis failing to get deals for some of his primary transfer targets over the line.
One particular area of concern for the Baggies boss will be his forward department, with his side becoming too reliant on Salomon Rondon, and consequently, the addition of a proven goalscorer will surely feature highly on his agenda.

With this in mind, the Black Country outfit should consider a summer move for Burnley striker Andre Gray.
The 25-year-old has an impressive career goalscoring record, notching up 102 goals in 221 appearances, and his playing style would be ideally suited to West Brom’s setup.
Gray has blistering pace, and his ability to run in behind opposition defences could prove to be a huge asset to the Baggies, offering them an entirely different option in the forward department.

Pulis’ side became too one-dimensional during the second half of the season, and as a result, were predictable and easy to play against, and that is something that must be addressed next term, with more tactical fluidity an absolute must.
The former Brentford man has just one year remaining on his current deal at Turf Moor, so the Clarets might just be persuaded into selling him this summer, rather than risk losing him for nothing next year.
And West Brom should test Sean Dyche’s resolve by making a concrete offer for Gray sooner rather than later.
