West Brom hope to snap up Arsenal striker Carlos Vela on-loan next month.
Albion manager Tony Mowbray is desperate to strengthen his bottom-of-the-table side's attacking options.
He is also committed to making full use of the loan market.
But luring Vela away from The Emirates could prove to be a problem as the youngster has recently forced his way into the Premier League and Champions League plans of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.
