Albion are still striving to add a striker to their squad before the transfer window shuts tonight.

They are working to get a deal over the line in the final hours of trading.

Meanwhile, Championship clubs headed by Reading are running out of time to sign Tomer Hemed.

Bids have so far fallen well below Albion's valuation and the target man is currently on international duty with Israel, which complicates the medical process.

Glenn Murray (ankle) and Sam Baldock (calf) are currently sidelined.

Murray, Baldock, Hemed and fit-again winger Anthony Knockaert scored 60 goals between them in the Championship last season.

New record buy Jose Izquierdo can also play anywhere across the front line.
