West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke says a deal for Morgan Amalfitano is agreed.
The Marseille midfielder is on-loan at WBA this season.
"There is an option to buy (Amalfitano)," said Clarke.
"I said in August I needed some more forward players to increase options.
''It also creates more problems for the opposition, the more good attacking players you have the more problems you are likely to cause them."
