West Brom have launched an audacious bid to sign Paris Saint-Germain's Poland international Grzegorz Krychowiak.

Tony Pulis is battling to secure the defensive midfielder on loan for the season, with talks now understood to be at an advanced stage.

Krychowiak, signed for a fee of around £28 million from Sevilla last year, has been made available by PSG and Albion have moved in to bring him to the Hawthorns.

The 27 year-old could fly into England for a medical if talks continue to run smoothly.

Krychowiak was seen as one of Europe's best defensive midfielders during his time at Sevilla but he has endured a difficult campaign under old manager Unai Emery in Paris.

Pulis is also swooping for Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs in a £7m deal. Gibbs leaves Arsenal after a 13-year association and joins West Brom after his move to Watford collapsed over personal terms.

Chelsea are in talks with Swansea over the £15m signing of Fernando Llorente.

The champions made their move on Tuesday and are convinced a deal can be done for the Spain international, a long-term target for Antonio Conte.

Llorente has not played this season after suffering an arm injury on holiday but Conte is closing in on his signing, with Swansea preparing for his departure.
