West Brom chairman John Williams admits they're seeking a new striker this summer.

Albion focused on their midfield in January and brought in Jake Livermore for £10million, but there is still just two senior strikers at the club.

“Do we want a striker? Yeah we do, we would like another striker in the club," he said. “Did we try really hard to get a striker in January? No.

“One of the problems is I don't see us playing four-four-two in the conventional sense.

“If we were to buy a number nine for £25m in the summer, who's going to play then? The new man or Salomon - who has hopefully got into double figures and had a good season.

“Is that the best use of resources? Or do we better have one? Salomon's an oak tree but he may go down tomorrow. I hope he doesn't.

“Of course you need cover but you've got to work out strategically what you want."
