West Brom must bolster attack in January transfer window - Allardyce - Football News - Sportstar

The Hindu  

West Bromwich Albion will dip into the transfer market this month to strengthen its strikeforce, manager Sam Allardyce said after Saturday’s penalty shootout defeat by League One side Blackpool in the FA Cup. With Callum Robinson rested and Charlie Austin completing a loan move to Queens Park Rangers, Allardyce was left short on attacking options for the third-round tie at Bloomfield Road and the 66-year-old did not name a forward in the matchday squad. West Brom, which is second bottom in the Premier League with eight points from 17 matches, has scored just three goals in five games in all competitions since Allardyce replaced Slaven Bilic last month. We need one, if not two, front-men because we need to score goals.” West Brom has signed midfielder Robert Snodgrass from West Ham United and goalkeeper Andy Lonergan in the January transfer window but Allardcye hopes there will be more additions.
