West Brom target Alvaro Negredo has insisted that he wants to remain in the Premier League, according to The Sun.

The Valencia forward is being courted by a number of European clubs after an impressive season on loan with Middlesbrough.

Negredo's agent has commented this week saying his client wants to "continue competing in a top league."

With the latest revelation, West Brom has ramped up their interest in the 31-year old.

The report suggests the Baggies could lodge a bid with Los Che as soon as this week.

The former Manchester City striker scored 9 Premier League goals this past season.
