West Bromwich Albion have rejected a bid from Al Gharafa for striker Brown Ideye.
The 26-year-old joined last summer for a club record £10 million from Dinamo Kiev but has failed to impress with just two goals in 16 appearances.
Qatari club Al Gharafa had initially asked to take Ideye on loan but Albion will only consider a sale and want to recoup the bulk of their summer outlay.
Al Gharafa are considering a revised bid but have three other options as well as Ideye and want to secure a striker before their season kicks off next weekend against Michael Laudrup’s Lekhwiya.
If a fee for Brown is agreed, former Stoke City manager, Tony Pulis, may use the funds to secure a move for Emmanuel Adebayor who has been linked with a loan away from White Hart Lane.
Adebayor has struggled for form this season and has fallen behind Harry Kane in the pecking order.
