The agent of Ariza Makukula has revealed that West Brom are interested in the Benfica striker.

Portugal international Makukula only joined Benfica last January but he has fallen down the pecking order and no longer figures in Quique Flores' plans.

Baggies manager Tony Mowbray is keen to bolster his attacking options during the transfer window and has set his sights on the 27-year-old.

However, it is understood that he wants to sign Makulula on loan and Benfica would prefer a sale.

"Contacts exist with several clubs but still there have been no concrete offers," agent Kenneth Azquez explained in the Portuguese press.

"WBA have asked about Makukula but Benfica are not interested in a loan."

Reporst suggest that several other clubs from England and Spain are tracking Makukula's situation.
