West Brom are hoping to wrap-up the signing of Tomasz Radzinski sometime this week.
Fulham's 32-year-old forward Radzinski has emerged as a late target.
Radzinski is vastly experienced having previously played for Everton and Anderlecht but is expected to be a peripheral figure for the London club this season.
Ideally Albion would like to buy him permanently but Fulham may only release him on loan - if at all.
Bryan Robson is hoping to have new faces on board by the time his side take on Colchester on Saturday.
"We do need people who can give us more goal threat. I'm not bothered if they are permanent or loans.
"We've inquired on a few and I'm hoping for good news this week."
