Newly promoted West Brom are keen on the stopper, who joined Charlton in January 2007 from Sheffield Wednesday, and have made a firm offer.

Charlton have already confirmed that they are ready to let Bougherra leave The Valley and are now locked in talks with The Baggies.

However, there is rival interest with Scottish giants Rangers, Middlesbrough and Sunderland all thought to be considering making late bids for Bougherra.
