West Bromwich Albion to pay Southampton £15m for Jay Rodriguez?

A report claims that West Bromwich Albion will finalise the signing of Jay Rodriguez from Southampton in the next 24 hours, setting them back up to £15m.

Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez is reportedly close to leaving the club after West Bromwich Albion agreed to pay up to £15m to land his signature.

The 27-year-old is a long-term target for Tony Pulis at The Hawthorns, having supposedly been the subject of failed bids in both previous transfer windows.

It emerged earlier this week that Pulis had been given the green light to push through a fresh move for the one-cap England international, however, despite the recent change of management at St Mary's Stadium.

According to The Telegraph, a fee of £12m up front has been agreed between the two clubs, which will rise by a further £3m with various add-ons.

Rodriguez is expected to finalise his transfer on Sunday afternoon, becoming Albion's first arrival of the summer and just their second permanent acquisition of 2017.
