Bengaluru, August 24: West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis is ready to pull off a £30million double swoop for Tottenham pair Kevin Wimmer and Vincent Janssen.

Pulis hopes to seal the double swoop today (August 24) with Spurs willing to sell and Albion's offer for the duo set to top any of the rival clubs for their signatures.

Austrian international Wimmer can move after the arrival of Davinson Sanchez from Ajax and he wants to stay in the Premier League this season after a frustrating time at White Hart Lane where he mostly had to settle for a place on the bench.

The deal, estimated at around £15million, will give Pulis the first of two centre halves he wants for the Baggies back line amid interest in skipper Jonny Evans.

Striker Janssen has faced a very tough debut season with Spurs, finding it hard in the shadow of Harry Kane, but would give Pulis an extra attacking option. He came to the Premier League with a huge reputation after winning the Golden Boot in the Eredivisie but failed to make an impact at White Hart Lane.

The Dutch international is also valued at £15million despite his woes and Stoke City are also keeping an eye on his future.

The in-form Baggies are also looking for further reinforcements and are still in the hunt for Bournemouth's versatile Marc Wilson who was on loan with them before.

West Brom have already pulled off a number of impressive moves, starting with the £12million capture of Jay Rodriguez from Southampton followed by moves for Gareth Barry and Craig Gardner.

Chinese striker Yuning Zhang joined in a £6.5million switch from Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem but it's Ahly loanee Ahmed Hegazy who has impressed the most so far with a couple of strong performances.
