Newcastle striker Andy Carroll is on a list of possible transfer options for West Brom this month.
The Premier League strugglers have also discussed Bournemouth striker Josh King, who also has interest from Wolves and West Ham.
Sam Allardyce is desperate for a striker after Karlan Grant, who signed from Huddersfield in the last transfer window, sustained a broken bone in his foot that is expected to sideline him for at least five weeks.
Carroll scored his first Newcastle goal in ten years with a late strike in a 2-1 defeat by Leicester on Sunday.
