Wolfsburg defensive midfielder Josuha Guilavogui is attracting Premier League interest.
The Express & Star says Guilavogui is on the radar of West Brom and Stoke City.
But the clubs also face competition from OGC Nice to land the 26-year-old.
There were rumours linking Guilavogui to Albion in July, but the club have since bought Gareth Barry.
However a potential deal remains a possibility with the midfielder ten years younger than the former Evertonian.
