Friday 3rd July 2009, 10:19AM BST.
Albion are optimistic they can finalise a deal for Youssouf Mulumbu next week – but Juan Carlos Menseguez is less likely to join.
The Baggies have a deal with Paris St Germain, thought to be around £500,000, in place for Mulumbu.
New head coach Roberto Di Matteo’s has already given his approval for the signing.
But Argentinian midfielder Menseguez, who like Mulumbu finished last season on loan at Albion, has shown little interest in returning.
