West Bromwich Albion should consider a move for the former Wolverhampton Wanderers hitman.
West Brom were woefully inept in front of goal last season, with their tally of just 31 goals scored eventually proving to be a major contributing factor behind their relegation down to the Championship.
Darren Moore would be wise to target the addition of an established hitman this summer, and preferably one who has already proven himself in England’s second tier.
With this in mind, the Baggies should consider a move for Leo Bonatini, after he spent last season in the Championship with their Black Country rivals Wolves.
The 24-year-old Brazilian chipped in with 12 goals and six assists in 43 league outings for Wolves last season, and despite a poor second half to the campaign, he displayed his undeniable quality up until the new year.

He is an intelligent footballer, with an uncanny knack of finding space in tight areas, and that combined with a natural goalscoring instinct makes him a top all-round striker.
The Brazilian also possesses excellent technique, and would undoubtedly help West Brom improve upon the fluidity of their play in the final third.
Bonatini is still owned by Al-Hilal, and the Birmingham Mail claim that he could be available for around £5 million this summer.
His success when playing for Wolves last season, during the first half of the campaign at least, should be enough to convince West Brom that he could do a job for them in the Championship this season.
If the Baggies could pick him up for somewhere in the region of £5 million, it could turn out to be a real coup for Darren Moore’s side.
