West Bromwich Albion have Brayann Pereira and a new striker in their sights on deadline day.

The Baggies have had a largely positive start to the season after a busy transfer window.

James Morrison has already welcomed nine fresh faces, with the likes of Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Felix Horn Myhre already having a telling impact.

Toby Collyer is the latest to come through the door as a permanent move from Manchester United was sealed.

Pereira looks set to be the next to seal a Hawthorns switch, while a striker remains on the agenda.

What's next after Brayann Pereira signing at West Brom?

There is plenty of excitement for the rest of the campaign in the Black Country.

That is only set to take a step up with the 23-year-old set to come in from NEC Nijmegen.

The Frenchman can feature as a right-back or centre-back, so will bring much-needed versatility to the Albion.

His move looks set to be announced shortly before further business can continue.

The Express and Star reported on Tuesday that Pereira "may not be the last arrival of the window" in B71.

The defender is set to come through the door, but a striker is also wanted by Morrison and Co.

Which striker could West Brom sign on deadline day?

There have certainly been plenty of different number nine targets linked with a Midlands switch.

Cameron Archer has been a target throughout the summer despite a move being yet to go through.

That deal would certainly go down well and a deal could still be on the cards on deadline day.

The ex-Aston Villa youngster appears the most likely to come through the door, so it will be interesting to see if Morrison can get it over the line.
