West Brom boss Tony Pulis has revived negotiations with Bakary Sako.
The midfielder is a free agent after coming off contract with Wolves this month.
Sako had appeared to price himself out of a move earlier this summer as talks stalled.
But Pulis has returned to the negotiating table this week with Sako's camp now more co-operative.
Saint Etienne have also been in fresh contact with the winger.
