West Bromwich Albion have reportedly entered a race with Queens Park Rangers for Senegalese striker Bamba Dieng.
Dieng is set to become a free agent this summer following the expiration of his current contract at Ligue 1 side Lorient.
The 26-year-old scored 14 goals in all competitions last season, including nine goals in 18 matches in the French top-flight.
He has been linked with a number of EFL clubs in recent weeks, with the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City and Portsmouth being mooted as potential options.
Pete O'Rourke has reported that West Brom have now registered their interest and they are currently competing with QPR for his signature.
Dieng is part of Senegal's 26-man squad for this summer's World Cup.
The likes of West Brom and QPR will be looking to conclude a deal ahead of the tournament to avoid the chance of being gazumped by other clubs.
West Brom will be targeting a much improved campaign after finishing 21st during the 2025/26 Championship season.
The Baggies are looking to strengthen their attacking options following the departure of Daryl Dike, while it remains to be seen where Josh Maja will be playing his football next season.
QPR will be hoping to propel themselves towards the play-off places next season and the potential acquisition of Dieng would boost their chances.
