West Bromwich Albion management are becoming frustrated over Brown Ideye's failure to settle.
The Telegraph says Albion are growing increasingly concerned with Ideye's struggles since his arrival in July and management staff are understood to be "exasperated" with his lack of impact.
Ideye was signed for a record fee from Dynamo Kiev but has made only two league starts and was not even in the matchday squad for the game at Leicester City on Saturday.
Albion have been left stunned by how far the forward appears off the pace since his introduction to the Premier League.
Earlier in the season it is understood that one player even asked if Ideye had been promoted from the under-21s to join first-team training for the day.
