West Bromwich Albion 'step up Rudy Gestede pursuit'

By , Senior Reporter
A report claims that new West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis will offload flop striker Georgios Samaras this month in order to land Rudy Gestede from Blackburn Rovers.

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis will reportedly offload Georgios Samaras in order to bring Blackburn Rovers striker Rudy Gestede to the club this month.

The former Celtic forward has yet to make an impact at The Hawthorns since joining on a free contract in the summer, failing to start a single game for the club.

According to The Mirror, new Baggies boss Pulis is ready to listen to offers for Samaras as he ups his interest in Benin international Gestede.

The targetman struggled during his three-year spell at Cardiff City, although since joining Blackburn 12 months ago he has scored 24 goals in 44 league games.

It is also suggested that Pulis is unimpressed by Brown Ideye, who joined West Brom for a club-record fee of £10m last July.
