West Brom transfer news: Tony Pulis keen for one more signing

The Baggies retain an interest in the Nigerian international after initially being approached by the Hornets in relation to a possible swap deal for Saido Berahino.

But while the club were keen for that deal to go ahead, Berahino was not in favour of a move to Vicarage Road and instead completed a protracted move to Stoke.

Albion boss Tony Pulis remains interested in Ighalo who scored 17 goals last season but has struggled to recapture that form this term.

But he has been put off by Watford's asking price and is now looking at other transfer targets.

The Express & Star understands Albion are keen to make one more signing this window with that player either a striker or a centre-back.

Rumours had surfaced the club were considering a move for ex-Villa and England winger Ashley Young.

But the Manchester United man is not on Pulis's list of targets and is instead expected to leave Old Trafford for a lucrative move to China.

Reports linking the Baggies with Everton defender Phil Jagielka are also wide of the mark with the 34-year-old not interesting the club.

Albion were forced to move full-back Craig Dawson into central defence for the victory over Sunderland after Jonny Evans was ruled out with a calf injury.

And while Pulis was happy with the 26-year-old's performance, he wants to strengthen his squad in that area.

"We are desperately seeking to bring in another centre half if we possibly can because we need cover there," he said. "Wherever Daws plays he always gives his best.

"Missing Jonny (Evans) on Saturday was a massive blow for us.

"But against Sunderland I was very pleased because I thought everybody did well in lots of ways."

Dawson is believed to see is long-term future centre-half. But Pulis insists he is happy to play anywhere.

"I think he (Dawson) wants to play anywhere," the boss added.
