West Bromwich Albion joint asistant manager Keith Downing has revealed that the club has triggered the release clause in Solomon Kalou's contract and remain hopeful of signing him.
The former Chelsea winger has been with Lille and could be set for a return to the Premier Legaue after both West Brom and West Ham triggered the £2.6 million release clause in his present contract.
"We've stated an interest, we've had some negotiations and we're hopeful he'll come to West Brom," joint assistant manager Keith Downing told the Birmingham Mail.
"We are still working to get players of his ilk to come to the club.
"Discussions are going on. We know we have a good set of players, a good core and we have stated we are short in terms of numbers.
"We're aware of that but we know we need help. There is an importance now to get the two or three, maybe four, players in."
The 28 year old has been in good goal scoring form for the French club last season and ended up with 14 goals in his 28 appearances.
