According to the Birmingham Mail, West Brom are lining up a club-record bid to sign West Ham striker Diafra Sakho this summer.
The report says that West Brom are desperate to sign the striker, and will have to pay over £12m for the forward. West Ham are hopeful that a club will meet their £15m valuation for the wantaway Sakho.
West Brom’s current transfer record is held by Salomon Rondon, who joined the Baggies from Zenit for £12m.
Sunderland have already had a bid rejected for the want-away striker. The Black Cats had a £12m bid turned down, meaning West Brom will be forced into smashing their transfer record to sign Sakho.
Sakho had an impressive first season for West Ham after he signed from Metz in 2014, scoring ten goals in just 23 Premier League matches. But, he fell off last season, scoring just five goals in 20 matches for the club.
Now, he looking for a move away and West Brom appears to be the most likely destination at this point. Although, the report says that Sunderland are also considering another offer for the forward.
