Tony Pulis is targeting four more ­signings at West Bromwich Albion as he prepares for the potential £30 million sale of Jonny Evans. Pulis wants to build on Albion’s 100 per cent start, with Liverpool’s Mamadou Sakho and Watford striker Troy Deeney two of the high-profile targets on his list.

Sakho will be West Brom’s top choice if Manchester City sign Evans, while Albion are keeping a close eye on Deeney’s situation after he was again left out of Watford’s starting XI for the home game against Brighton.

Watford have previously quoted £25 million for Deeney, but West Brom believe there could be a chance of agreeing a lower fee. Pulis also wants to sign a box-to-box midfielder, but it is the future of Evans which will determine how much cash is available for the Welshman.

City are expected to table a second offer for Evans in the next few days and the £30 million Albion are demanding will go into Pulis’s budget before Thursday’s deadline. Ahead of Sunday’s game against his former club Stoke, Pulis said: “The big thing will be what we do in the next seven days. Let’s see what we can achieve in respect of bringing players in and then we can sit down and see what we’ve got.
