West Brom are claimed to be 'in talks' with Crystal Palace over the signing of Christian Benteke.
That's according to Sky Sports who reckon the clubs are still some distance apart on how to pay the Belgian's salary.
But what is clear it that Albion are in the market for a new striker as Sam Allardyce looks for much-needed fire power.
He's what Baggies fans make of the Benteke development.
'Easy goals' - West Brom fans pile in after striker transfer update

Dave Barratt: No thanks. We gave him some form back with his 2 easy goals against us. Waste of space!
Tommy Hartland: I'd take him all day.
Pete Hadley: Absolutely. Has always caused us trouble and will do a good good under alladyce.
Martin Hollyhomes: I think the question should be which one would you sign Benteke or Carroll
Craig Newey: Hell no, hasn't scored more than 15 goals in 4 years has he?
Jack Hodgson: He'll do a job, I'd take him short term.
@le_lebouf76: We do indeed get this deal done - we are going to be some threat at set plays - with the likes of benteke , Semi , barts , Dara can even add furlong onto that - with the quality of delivery snodgrass can deliver
@Jay89R: Seen a few people turn there noses up Benteke potentially coming in. How? Why? If you get him in the right system & he gets going we'd have a top striker on our hands. Yes the supply is concern but with Snodgrass & Periera feeding him there's always a chance
@P4ulG87: If Musa and Benteke mean more of our budget can go on midfield then I'm all for it. All about boxing clever in this window
@sjpatel212: Well I guess if we sign Benteke it's one way of always stopping him scoring his annual goal against us
