West Brom are reportedly interested in signing Stelios Andreou but face competition from two other clubs.
According to Football Insider, the Baggies along with their Championship rivals Cardiff City and Stoke City are eyeing up a move. Andreou won't come without a fee though and it is said that it will cost £1.25m to land the Cypriot defender this summer.

Cardiff and Stoke do have other transfer targets in mind though, and that could help out West Brom. The Bluebirds have been linked with a move for Will Fish who plays for Manchester United, and then Stoke want to re-sign Luke McNally following a loan spell from Burnley last term.
Andreou has been in Belgium for the last three years after joining from Olympiakos Nicosia. He has made more than 100 appearances for Charleroi with a sixth-placed finish his best record finish so far.
His move to Charleroi has seen him become a regular for the Cyprus national team. He made his debut when he was in Nicosia, but has then gone on to hold a place in the team. His main position is centre-back but he is capable of playing as a right-sided defender and did that for Cyprus against the likes of Scotland and Spain last year.
He can count Burnley's Anass Zaroury as one of his former teammates, and plays alongside Peterborough United's Hector Kyprianou for Cyprus.
