West Brom deny bid for attacker: Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United also keen
WEST BROM have reportedly confirmed their interest in Franco Vazquez but denied the striker's claim that they have made a bid.
Vazquez is desperate to leave this summer and has a host of Premier League clubs after him
Vazquez was part of the Palermo side that won promotion from Serie B in 2014 and has since scored 18 times in Italy's top flight.
But now the 27-year-old is '100%' leaving Sicily this summer and revealed that a bid for him had already been rejected.
"I do not know if my next team will be Tottenham or Chelsea," he told Italian outlet Gazzetta Giallorossa.

According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, newly installed manager Jose Mourinho is a big fan of Vazquez.
And Express Sport understands the Portuguese boss has been given £200m with which to overhaul the current United squad and attacking players are a priority after the Red Devils recorded their lowest ever Premier League goal tally last season.
Vazquez has name-checked Chelsea as one of his potential destinations as well and incoming manager Antonio Conte is expected to move quickly in the transfer market when he takes over at Stamford Bridge after the conclusion of Euro 2016.
He will have just a month to prepare his side for the Premier League campaign and Express Sport understands he could replace as many as nine members of the first-team squad.
