Having made it clear he wanted at least five new players before the end of the transfer window, Tony Pulis has ordered everyone to get deals done swiftly.
Having already brought in Nacer Chadli from Tottenham and Brendan Galloway on loan from Everton, the former Stoke manager is interested in a new centre-back.
According to L’Equipe on Wednesday, the Premier League club are looking to bring in Willy Boly from Braga.
The defender was the subject of a €5m bid from Besiktas on Tuesday, an offer rejected by Braga, and now his future lies between two clubs: Porto or West Bromwich Albion.
The French newspaper say Porto have been in talks regarding a transfer over the past few days, while West Brom are expected to make an offer on Wednesday afternoon as they look to get a deal done before 11pm.
The 25-year-old centre-back, who arrived to Portugal from Auxerre on a free transfer two years ago, was one of Braga’s more influential players last season, making 40 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and picking up an assist in the process.
