Albion are keen to add some additional firepower to their Premier League strike force and Deeney's top flight experience could be a major factor in their decision.

They also signed the talented but inexperienced Andi Zeqiri from Swiss Super League side Lausanne-Sport. Zeqiri is seen as one for the future but Deeney is a proven striker and could make an instant impact.
