In an exclusive interview with Football FanCast, former Premier League striker Dean Windass has tipped new West Brom boss Sam Allardyce to swoop for one of his former players in the upcoming January transfer window.
The 66-year-old replaced Slaven Bilic last week on an 18-month contract and suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to arch-rivals Aston Villa in his first game in charge on Sunday evening.
He told reporters that he will be backed next month, and Windass has suggested that Everton outcast Yannick Bolasie could be one to make the switch to the Hawthorns.
The 31-year-old originally joined the Toffees in a £25m deal from Crystal Palace in 2016 under Ronald Koeman but would go onto play more times for Allardyce than the Dutchman.
He scored just once in 17 appearances, whilst 53% of his matches at Everton have come under Big Sam, per Transfermarkt.
The DR Congo winger wasn't registered for their Premier League squad this season and is expected to leave the club in January as Carlo Ancelotti revealed in October.
And the ex-Hull marksman believes he could end up in the Midlands...
He told FFC:
"Yeah, pace in the wide areas.
"He's been Everton's forgotten man but yeah [I'd take him].
"Listen, Sam will know, Sam will have it in his mind who he needs."
The wide areas have been a problematic issue at the Baggies this season.
Grady Diangana hasn't been able to continue the form that helped spearhead them to Championship promotion last term, whilst Bilic often went to a back five to mask his lack of trust in a true right-winger - neither Matty Phillips, Kamil Grosicki or Kyle Edwards could nail down that spot.
Bolasie could somewhat solve the issue short-term as he's vastly experienced in the Premier League having made 119 appearances in his top-flight career.
Although, the £70k-per-week Toffees misfit would arrive with plenty of fitness concerns given he's not played a competitive fixture this season.
Bolasie's last senior appearance came in Sporting Lisbon's 4-1 thrashing by Istanbul in the Europa League back in February.
