Albion ready to sell Brown Ideye and Victor Anichebe
Albion boss Tony Pulis is hunting buyers for Victor Anichebe and Brown Ideye as he looks to beef up his forward line this summer.
The Baggies boss hopes to land two or three new forwards in the summer transfer with free agent Andre-Pierre Gignac still among his leading targets.
Hawthorns sources have played down reports from France concerning a possible move for giant striker Habib Habibou as they face increasing competition in the battle for Gignac.
The 6ft 4in centre-forward plays in France for Stade Rennais.
Gignac remains a major target this summer but big-spending Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr are the latest club to express an interest.
Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford has also been mentioned as a possible target, but the Baggies currently have no plans to pursue him.
Pulis is also on the lookout for new full-backs, with France under-21 international Loick Landre the latest name to be linked, but that story has also met with puzzlement at The Hawthorns. The 23-year-old is currently at Lens.
Meanwhile, former Albion midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu is reportedly close to joining Norwich after his release from The Hawthorns at the end of last season.
