Albion are interested in Newcastle centre-forward Aleksandar Mitrovic.
They have made a bid for the Serbian international, according to a north-east source.
The offer is said to be well below Newcastle's £15 million valuation.
Albion's interest in Mitrovic is also complicated by Newcastle being one of their rivals in the fight for Premier League survival.
Albion boss and former Newcastle manager Chris Hughton is keen for a further addition to his attacking options in the January transfer window following the club record £14 million signing of Jurgen Locadia from PSV Eindhoven.
