West Bromwich Albion have reportedly decided to firm up their initial approach for Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Federico Fazio.
It is believed that the Baggies contacted Spurs regarding the 28-year-old's availability earlier this summer.
The recent addition of James Chester was thought to have signified the end of manager Tony Pulis's interest in Fazio, but according to the Express & Star, a bid is to be lodged for the Argentine in the near future.
The report adds that Spurs could demand around £6m for a player that cost them £8m when he arrived at White Hart Lane from Sevilla 12 months ago.
Fazio made 25 appearances in all competitions for the Lilywhites last season.
