West Brom are reportedly in talks to sign Metz striker Habib Diallo in the summer transfer window.
According to reports from The Sun (printed edition, page 61), the Baggies are in talks to sign the 25-year-old striker this summer.
The newly-promoted Premier League side are trying to negotiate a loan deal for the striker.
Diallo, who scored 12 goals and provided three assists in 25 league appearances last season, is keen to move to the Premier League.
Metz are ready to let him go for a large rental fee. The Baggies would need to pay £20m to sign him permanently if they stay up.
