West Brom have £7.5m bid rejected for Aston Villa and Sunderland target

WEST BROM have had their £7.5m bid for Angers' Cheikh N'Doye rejected, according to reports in France.

 

N'Doye has lit up Ligue 1 this season, drawing interest from the Premier League

 

The midfielder is a star player at Angers with five goals already this season and four man of the match awards.

The newly-promoted side have been flying in Ligue 1 and moved up to second last weekend with a win over Caen.

But Angers' success has caught the eye of a number of Premier League clubs and Tony Pulis' side have Aston Villa and Sunderland for company in the pursuit of N'Doye.

 

Villa manager Remi Garde has been scouring France for signings to help drag them out of the relegation zone with Claudio Beauvue, Daniel Congre and Lamine Sane all linked with the Midlands club.

Meanwhile, Sunderland have been England's most active club with Jan Kirchhoff and Dame N'Doye both already confirmed January transfers.

 

But according to L'Equipe, Angers have received no bid from Sam Allardyce despite expecting one last week.

But with the French paper also reporting the £7.5million rejection from the Baggies, it seems it will take a bid of nearly £10m to lure the player away from the club.
