West Bromwich Albion are weighing up a summer bid for Bournemouth defender Steve Cook, according to a report.
The 25-year-old, who has featured in every minute of the Cherries' Premier League campaign so far, tops the list for clearances in Europe's top five divisions with an average of 9.7 per game.
It is claimed by the Daily Mail that Cook has been closely monitored by Albion boss Tony Pulis, who is deliberating over a £7m swoop at the end of the season in an attempt to strengthen his ageing backline.
England manager Gareth Southgate is also said to be keeping a close eye on the centre-back, meanwhile, with a call-up to the Three Lions' senior squad a possibility before the year is out.
Cook came through Brighton & Hove Albion's youth system, but he has been on Bournemouth's books since 2012 when he joined for a fee of £150,000.
