West Brom are eyeing Sunderland defender Lamine Kone.

Sky Sports says the Baggies are looking into the possibility of bringing Kone, who is expected to cost in the region of £9 million, to The Hawthorns.

Kone was one of two players who refused to play for David Moyes on the final day of last season, according to former Sunderland left-back Michael Gray, and it's believed his time at the Stadium of Light is coming to an end.

Albion only have four senior defenders at the club and are looking for a centre-back this summer after releasing Jonas Olsson in March.
