West Bromwich Albion are challenging Stoke City for AS Monaco striker Emmanuel Riviere.
The Daily Mail says new head coach Alan Irvine is said to be planning a £6m bid for the powerful striker, aged 24, who almost joined the Potters last season.
Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis has also been tracking the former French youth international.
Albion, however, may struggle to match his personal terms.
