West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis is monitoring Malaga midfielder Ignacio Camacho.

Spanish publication AS is reporting that the Baggies are looking to strengthen their midfield in January and are hoping the hard-tackling 25-year-old is back in full swing soon following an injury worry.

Camacho underwent surgery on his pelvis in the summer but could return to La Liga action this weekend against Valencia.

Pulls was keen on the former Atletico Madrid man in the summer but the injury doused any potential transfer. It is believed that Albion will send scouts to watch Camacho, who has a £14.8million release clause, as the West Midlands get set to prepare a possible January offer.
