Middlesbrough are ready to tempt West Brom to part with Diomansy Kamara after offering top kids James Morrison and Adam Johnson.
The Mirror says Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate wants the Senegal striker but is reluctant to meet a £5million asking price.
However, Albion chief Tony Mowbray, who is resigned to losing Kamara with Birmingham also interested, is keen on Boro's home-grown fringe wide men.
