West Bromwich Albion are reportedly preparing a big-money move to land Monaco striker Emmanuel Riviere.
The Baggies, who finished last season's Premier League campaign in 17th place, are said to have been monitoring the 24-year-old for some time.
A report in the Express & Star claims that West Brom are now ready to make a bid for Riviere, but they may have to surpass their previous transfer record fee of £6m to capture the Colombian.
Riviere joined Monaco last summer from Toulouse and still has three years remaining on his contract.
