West Brom aren't wasting any time in this summer transfer window.

The Baggies have already had a busy start in the market after a frustrating campaign overall.

They may have avoided relegation from the Championship, but the campaign still wasn't good enough.

That has seen a Hawthorns refresh begin with four fresh faces coming in already.

Matt Ingram, Carter Pinnington, Barney Stewart and Jimmy-Jay Morgan have moved to B71, but they look likely to be just the start.

The latter two have added to the attacking conversation for James Morrison and could soon be added to.

There is certainly a need for new faces in forward areas moving into the new season.

The Baggies are undergoing a total overhaul due to the departure of Daryl Dike and the pending departures of Josh Maja and Karlan Grant.

That prompted the moves for Morgan and Stewart in the early weeks of the summer window.

They won't be the only signings in attacking positions this summer as Morrison goes in search of alternatives.

That is according to Express and Star journalist Lewis Cox, as he reports that scouting is well underway to find replacements for Maja and Grant this summer.

He said: "Albion very much have their targets in sight in terms of replacements for Maja and Grant. I expect that attacking shopping to continue at The Hawthorns.

"There won't be too much surprise with the powers that be if and when both players eventually sign elsewhere. Morrison with Ian Pearce and Dominic Price are scouting the market in terms of value for a replacement. Watch this space."

Which attackers could West Brom sign?

There have already been plenty of names linked to the Baggies that could make a move this summer.

He could make a loan switch to The Hawthorns as the Seagulls assess his options for the future.

Southampton striker Cameron Archer has also been linked with a move and could prove to be the ideal alternative to Maja.

Elijah Just of Motherwell is also a target and is attracting massive interest after a superb World Cup campaign.

There are no shortage of options for Morrison and Co. it is all about being clever this summer.
