The Baggies have invited the pair to play at The Hawthorns as they look for more free agents to snap up after a disappointing summer in the transfer market.

The club have already signed Wales international Hal Robson-Kanu on a two-year deal, after the striker let his contract with Reading run down.

Sissoko, who has also played for Juventus in the past, is out of contract after leaving Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua.

The 31-year-old, who won the FA Cup with Liverpool, has been training with French side Nancy in pre-season.

Chamakh is a free agent after his contract with Crystal Palace ran out in the summer.

The 32-year-old, who played under Albion boss Tony Pulis at Selhurst Park, has been training with Alan Pardew's squad while he looks for another team.

Albion only have three senior strikers on their books at the minute - Salomon Rondon, Saido Berahino, and Robson-Kanu.

First team coach Ben Garner is taking charge of today's match against Delhi Dynamos, who are managed by World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta and boast former Chelsea winger Florent Malouda among their ranks.

The Indian Super League team have signed Samir Nabi, a former Albion academy midfielder who left the club at the end of last season, and will hand the 19-year-old his Dynamos debut against the Baggies today.

Samir's older brother Adil went on loan to the Dynamos last season before being sold to Peterborough in January.

Albion's new signings Nacer Chadli and Allan Nyom are also expected to take part in today's match, which kicks off at 3pm.
