Tony Pulis hints he is interested in signing Jermain Defoe as West Brom boss teases that club have 'fingers in the pie' on a few players

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has hinted he is interested in signing Jermain Defoe.

The Sunderland striker will be available, reportedly on a free transfer, after the Black Cats were relegated from the Premier League last weekend.

Pulis has gone through the majority of the season with just Hal Robson-Kanu and Salomon Rondon as available strikers with Saido Berahino barely playing, due to a two-month ban for failing an out-of-competition drugs test, before he joined Stoke in January.
