West Brom have rejected a double bid from Fulham for striker Diomansy Kamara and midfielder Jason Koumas, according to reports.
Wales midfielder Koumas along with club top goal scorer Kamara are both transfer targets for Fulham's boss Lawrie Sanchez.
According to Sky Sports, Fulham tabled a bid worth £7 million for both players, but West Brom rejected the move.
It is thought the Baggies want to get good value for the players, who both want to play at a higher level after West Brom failed to secure promotion to the Premiership last season.
Manager Tony Mowbray must try and retain as much of West Brom's quality as he can to increase the club's chances of securing promotion next year.
Fulham boss Sanchez is keen to secure some new players to the squad he inherited from Chris Coleman after taking over at Craven Cottage towards the end of last season.
Koumas has been particularly linked with a move to the Premiership after strong performances for both his club and his country.
West Brom rejected an earlier bid of £3.5 million for Kamara from Birmingham yesterday.
