The Baggies are in line to break their transfer record twice in the next 48 hours, bringing in two midfielders to help bolster the threadbare squad before deadline day on Wednesday.

Chadli, a versatile attacking midfielder who has fallen down the pecking order at White Hart Lane, is due to have a medical at the club's training ground tomorrow.

Spurs bought the 27-year-old for £7m from FC Twente three seasons ago, but he hasn't featured for Mauricio Pochettino's team in any of the opening three games this season.

Hard-man Camacho is a long-term target who Pulis looked at last summer.

The defensive midfielder, who started his career at Atletico Madrid, is expected to follow Chadli through the door soon after.

After today's stalemate with Middlesbrough at The Hawthorns, Baggies boss Tony Pulis reiterated the need for new faces.

He said: "We need more legs, the team is an old team, as I said last year and the year before most probably.

"Obviously we need quality, but we also need some legs. I'm not having a go, if you speak to any of the players, they're all waiting for people to come in."

When he was asked if it was a goalscorer the club was targeting, Pulis responded: "No it's everywhere. I think we need it all the way though the pitch."

Meanwhile, Southampton have pulled the plug on Jay Rodriguez's season-long loan to Albion after the forward scored for Saints on Saturday.

But Rodriguez is still hoping to persuade Claude Puel to let him come to the Baggies because he doesn't believe he'll get minutes at St Mary's this season.
