Tony Pulis is bringing in a good number of fresh faces at The Hawthorns this summer, and having already secured the signings of James McClean, Callum McManaman, Rickie Lambert, and James Chester, the West Brom manager is looking to break the bank and big in a big name striker.
Before the signing of Christian Benteke, Liverpool were heavily linked with a move for Zenit St.Petersburg striker Salomon Rondon, who impressed for Venezuela at this summer's Copa America, and although the physical striker will be swapping Russia for England this season, it's the West Midlands he's heading for, and not Merseyside, according to The Times.

Rondon is in town for a medical and the fee is believed to be in the region of £15m, which would be a new record for The Baggies.
A big striker who isn't afraid of getting physical with defenders, Salomon Rondon could be a serious option for fantasy football managers if he's given a reasonable price, and surely he's a name that will excite the West Brom fans ahead of the new season.
