Baggies unable to turn down offers
09 January 2007
Albion accepted a bid of £6million from Fulham for Kamara, who was top scorer with 23 goals for the Baggies last season, and have also agreed to sell midfield playmaker Jason Koumas to Wigan for £5.3million.
Peace said: "We have said all along we will only consider selling players like Diomansy and Jason if we receive head-turning offers and that the deals are in the club's best interests. We feel these offers mirror those criteria."
If the two deals go through, they will both eclipse the previous biggest transfer fee the club have received - the £5million paid by Coventry for striker Lee Hughes in 2001.
Albion have been resigned to losing members of their squad since their defeat in the Coca-Cola Championship play-off final to Derby just over a month ago.
They had previously rejected a joint bid of £5million from Birmingham for Kamara and Koumas.
Both players had stated their desire to return to the Barclays Premier League while Kamara was a target for Roma.
Koumas has rebuilt his career during the past 12 months after going AWOL last summer when a move to Cardiff, where he had been on loan the previous season, did not materialise.
