West Brom close in on £7million deal for Cardiff striker Kenneth Zohore

West Bromwich Albion are close to finalising a £7million deal for Cardiff City striker Kenneth Zohore.

Slaven Bilic wanted a centre-forward to lead his line following the departure of Jay Rodriguez, Salomon Rondon and Dwight Gayle, who was on loan from Newcastle.

The 25-year-old Zohore, a former £20million target for Everton, had one year left on contract at Cardiff but is keen to move to the Hawthorns and is expected to have a medical on Wednesday after leaving Cardiff's training camp.
