Report: West Bromwich Albion hope to recruit Kenwyne Jones

West Bromwich Albion reportedly want to add out-of-favour Stoke City striker Kenwyne Jones to their forward options this summer.

The Baggies will be without their top scorer from last season Romelu Lukaku - who has returned to Chelsea following a loan spell - and are also prepared to sell Peter Odemwingie due to his disciplinary problems with the club last season.

Former Arsenal and Liverpool striker Nicolas Anelka has already been brought in to help fill the void and scored twice in West Brom's pre-season friendly win over Puskas Academy on Monday.

The Metro claims that manager Steve Clarke also wants to sign Jones, who is behind Peter Crouch and Jonathan Walters in the Stoke pecking order, to further strengthen his ranks.

Jones could be allowed to leave if Potters boss Mark Hughes clinches a deal for Benfica forward Nelson Oliveira.
