da gbg bet: In early September, TEAMtalk reported that Middlesbrough were locked in a battle with Aston Villa over the signing of Bakary Sako.
The attacker became a free agent at the end of last season after being released by Crystal Palace, where he spent three years of his career.
However, it looks as though neither of those clubs will secure the 30-year-old’s signature.
The Express & Star reports that West Bromwich Albion are in talks with Sako’s representatives regarding a deal.

The former Wolverhampton Wanderers player is currently on trial with the Baggies, but a full-time arrangement is yet to be struck.
Despite this, it appears that Boro have missed out on the chance to sign a player that has a record of 24 goals in 78 Championship appearances.
At the moment Tony Pulis’s side are flying in second place, level on points with Leeds United after nine games, but will they wish they had Sako’s goals later in the campaign?
