West Brom are close to finalising a £3million deal for Watford defender Allan Nyom.
The 28-year-old Cameroon defender will provide competition on the right side for Craig Dawson, who can then provide cover at centre-back.
Nyom made 32 Premier League appearances for Watford last season but is not overly comfortable with Walter Mazzarri's 3-5-2 formation.
Tony Pulis has been searching for defensive cover after allowing James Chester to leave for Aston Villa and 6ft 2in Nyom fits the bill.
