Per The Mail, they have now settled on Cooper as the man to take the Albion hotseat.
There is also interest in Cooper from Championship teams, but he wants a Premier League job.
De Zerbi left Brighton as he did not agree with the club's transfer policy of signing only younger players with high resale values.
Cooper was axed last season by Nottingham Forest, who narrowly avoided relegation.
