FLORIN ANDONE is still wanted by Albion.

Deportivo La Coruna’s Romanian international is on the Seagulls’ list of striker targets for the January transfer window.

Albion almost signed long-time target Andone at the end of the summer window.

A club record fee had been agreed and they were on the verge of completing the deal when it was wrecked by the collapse of Argentinian Guido Carrello’s proposed move from Monaco to Deportivo.

Andone’s game time in La Liga with struggling Deportivo has been limited this season after they re-signed Lucas Perez from Arsenal in the summer.

The 24-year-old ex-Cordoba forward scored his third goal in 13 outings in the home defeat by Celta Vigo just before Christmas.

Reports in Spain suggest manager Cristobal Parralo is overhauling his squad and tactics in a bid to steer Deportivo out of trouble.

Andone could start alongside Perez when they return to action at Villarreal on Sunday. Deportivo are currently in the La Liga relegation zone on goal difference.

Albion are the third-lowest goalscorers in the Premier League, above bottom two Swansea and next opponents West Brom.

Their attempts to land a striker were thwarted several times in the summer transfer window.

Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham chose a loan switch to Swansea and the Seagulls pulled out of a deal for FC Zurich’s Ghana international Raphael Dwamena when the club’s stringent medical checks identified a heart condition.

Vicent Janssen rejected a last-ditch move from Spurs once the Andone deal collapsed.
