With new man Slaven Bilic in charge, West Bromwich Albion must start looking to exploit the transfer market sooner rather than later. 

Admittedly, a lot of their transfer focus has been centred around the potential departure of Premier League made striker Salomon Rondon. The Venezuelan giant performed well in his loan spell for Newcastle United last season and is unmistakably a top-flight quality striker.

His move away from the Baggies seems inevitable; high quality brings a high wage bill that a Championship West Brom side simply can’t afford.

His inevitable move away is continuing to cause quite a problem for new manager Bilic. A manager can’t begin to look at signing new players if he doesn’t know exactly how much he is going to get for the striker.

It is understood that both Newcastle and West Ham United have an interest in signing him this summer. Clearly, teams are attempting to take advantage in the knowledge that West Brom need to sell the big money star.

Bilic may actually be forced to sell the player for much cheaper than he may be worth. With Che Adams recently making a move to the Premier League for £15 million, Rondon’s price must surely be dissimilar or perhaps even higher.

If they are to sell Rondon for a sum close to that price, they will be able to combine that fee with the £6 million they earned from Craig Dawson’s move to Watford and have over £20 million to bring in some much-needed quality.

But Rondon isn’t the only one. Similarly, West Brom seem to be investing a lot of their summer in the retainment of Jay Rodriguez. The attacker must be flattered on hearing that Sheffield United, Norwich City and Leicester City are all interested in his services next season.

Whilst West Brom remain firm that their star will stay, the Premier League call may just be too tempting for Rodriguez to ignore.

Once again, West Brom are in a state of flux. They realistically can't sign loads of players as they don’t quite know who will be staying or leaving and for what price. The uncertainty around the club’s outgoings could have an effect on their in-comings.
