West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis is eager to keep hold of his senior players.

The Sunday Mirror says Pulis has told chairman Jeremy Peace he could need as many as ten new players in all to strengthen a squad which has lost numbers over two years.

Talks have already started on new contracts for defender Gareth McAuley and midfield man Claudio Yacob.

Youssouf Mulumbu was released by the Baggies last week.
