West Bromwich Albion will reportedly consider making a bid for Bournemouth striker Benik Afobe should Jonny Evans leave the club and free up funds.

West Bromwich Albion have expressed an interest in signing striker Benik Afobe from Bournemouth, according to a report.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe is said to be open to offers for the 24-year-old, who has started five times in the Premier League this season.

Sky Sports News suggests that Albion are considering a formal offer, but will only do so should defender Jonny Evans - linked with Arsenal and Manchester City - leave the club to free up funds.

Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers are also said to have made contact with Bournemouth regarding Afobe's availability, two years after he swapped clubs in a £10m deal.

The DR Congo international was not included in Bournemouth's squad for their 1-1 draw with West Ham United at the weekend.
