West Bromwich Albion have joined the battle for Besiktas striker Demba Ba.

The former Chelsea centre-forward is eyeing a return to England this summer after 18 months in Turkey.

Ba has been mooted to follow his former Besiktas coach Slaven Bilic to West Ham United, where he first played in England.

However, Baggies boss Tony Pulis is also keen on Ba as he seeks a new centre-forward signing.

Pulis is turning to Ba after missing out on Olympique Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac.
