The Baggies have agreed a deal with the Reds for the forward, with the player expected to have a medical late on Monday afternoon
West Bromwich Albion are heading the chase to secure Daniel Sturridge from Liverpool after agreeing on a loan until the end of the season, in a setback to both Newcastle United and Inter Milan.
Alan Pardew’s side, fresh from dumping the Merseysiders out of the FA Cup, reached an agreement with the club for the England international.
They will assume his salary of £120,000 in its entirety, as well as pay a fee of around £2 million for the temporary arrangement with a medical expected to happen late Monday afternoon.
Inter had struck a similar deal with Liverpool, only for Sturridge to stall on the switch as he hoped Sevilla would follow up their enquiry for him with a solid offer.
That didn’t materialise, which encouraged Newcastle to enter negotiations for the 28-year-old, who has started just five games in the campaign.
