According to a report from TEAMtalk, Burnley, Southampton, Crystal Palace, Middlesbrough and West Brom are all keen on signing PAOK striker Aleksandar Prijovic in the January transfer window, but it is the Baggies who should look to win the race.

What's the story?

The recent report states that, thanks to a release clause in his current contract, Prijovic is now being targeted by a whole host of Premier League and Championship clubs who are on the lookout for a striker in January.

Valued at just £5.4m by Transfermarkt, the 28-year-old has had somewhat of a journeyman career after coming through the ranks at Parma, but he does have some experience of English football having spent loan spells with Yeovil and Northampton while being under contract at Derby, although he never managed a senior appearance for the Rams.

He has impressed in Greece though since his move to PAOK from Polish side Legia Warsaw, and has now scored 50 goals in 83 games throughout all competitions.

Another dimension

If there was one aspect of his team that fans would argue Darren Moore probably doesn't need to improve it would surely be his strike-force, given that his side have netted an incredible 44 goals in just 21 Championship games so far this year, putting them right at the top of the scoring charts.

However, a move for Prijovic would provide Moore's side with a different dimension going forward. The 6ft 3in front man is in a more similar mould to Salomon Rondon, whose current loan with Newcastle has left the Baggies without a target man in their current squad, and Hal Robson-Kanu is the only man who comes anywhere close to filling the role.

A Serbian international, Prijovic has two goals in 12 caps at international level and he would certainly be able to contribute to the promotion push at the Hawthorns.

So, West Brom fans, would you like to see Moore make a move for Prijovic in January? Have your say by voting in the poll below.
