Football Transfer Rumours - Mar-16-2011

West Bromwich Albion are weighing up a move for Queens Park Rangers striker Adel Taarabt and Crystal Palace's 18-year-old forward Wilfred Zaha. Baggies boss Roy Hodgson watched the pair in QPR's 2-1 win over Palace at Loftus Road on Saturday.

Chelsea have started negotiations in an attempt to land Belgian teenagers Romelu Lukaku and Kevin de Bruyne. A £3.5m bid for RC Genk attacking midfielder De Bruyne has been reportedly accepted, while Anderlecht are looking for at least £17.5m for their 18-year-old striker.

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner will turn down Blackburn's £15m bid to sign him this summer, with the Dane preferring a switch to Germany. Borussia Dortmund and Hamburg are possible options.
