Tony Pulis is reportedly keen to sign a defender this summer.
The report claims that the Baggies manager wants to sign a first-team centre-back to partner Jonny Evans, despite impressive performance from Ahmed Hegazi, who is on a season-long loan from Al Ahly.
With Gareth McAuley currently out injured and Pulis preferring Craig Dawson at right-back, the former Stoke City manager is eager to sign a centre-back.
West Brom have been heavily linked with a move for Ben Gibson, but Middlesbrough have rejected two bids from them already.
Should Pulis look for a cheaper alternative? Enter the scene, Martin Skrtel.
The former Liverpool defender boasts eight years of Premier League experience, and would be a smart signing for the Baggies.
The 32-year-old defender joined Fenerbahce in 2016 after falling out of favour of Jurgen Klopp, and is reportedly happy at the Turkish club.
However, Fenerbahce could be forced to offload the 32-year-old this summer after breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.
The Slovakian defender, who has 90 international caps under his belt, would cost around £4.5 million. Skrtel is still good enough to play at this level for another two to three years.
Given his experience, quality, and the low price-tag, West Brom should consider making a move for him this summer.
