Tianjin Quanjian made a £32million offer for Salomon Rondon but West Brom said he was not for sale in this window at any price.
The Chinese Super League club have only just secured the signing of Alexandre Pato for £15.5million but are clearly keen on further attacking options.
Rondon has been one of Tony Pulis' star performers so far this campaign and West Brom's main attacking threat.
The powerful target main is ideally suited to his club's style of play and the side from the midlands are thriving this season.
