Former Chelsea star Salomon Kalou to join Nicolas Anelka at West Brom
WEST BROM want to bring in another ex-Chelsea star this summer - after lining up a bid to reunite former Blues stars Salomon Kalou and Nicolas Anelka.
Anelka joined the Baggies last week on a free transfer, on a one-year deal with the option of a second built into his contract.
And Kalou could be the second former Chelsea player to sign at the Hawthorns ahead of next season, with manager Steve Clarke keen on securing his services.
According to regional paper the Birmingham Mail, West Brom want to bring in another forward - preferably in time for next week's pre-season camp in Austria.
The Lille wide-man has a £2.6million release clause, while the opportunity to play alongside Anelka and under former coach Clarke could help make the transfer possible.
Sources close to the player indicate that Kalou's wage demands and the lack of European competition at the West Midlands club could prove stumbling blocks however.
