Ryan Mason is the frontrunner to become the new West Brom manager, talkSPORT understands.
The Baggies are without a permanent boss following Tony Mowbray's departure last month.
James Morrison was placed in interim charge for the final two matches of the Championship season.
Former Queens Park Rangers manager Marti Cifuentes had previously been in the running alongside the Tottenham coach.
Mason now has the decision whether or not to head to the Hawthorns this summer.
The 33-year-old is currently an assistant manager to Ange Postecoglou at Spurs.
He has spent his entire coaching career with the club since retiring in 2018.
During that time, Mason has had two spells as caretaker boss, winning six of his 13 matches in temporary charge.
Those fixtures include a defeat to Manchester City in the 2021 Carabao Cup final.
Meanwhile, he lifted the first major trophy of his career as both a player and coach on Wednesday.
Spurs ended their 17-year wait for silverware by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final.
The club conclude their campaign at home to Brighton on the final day of the Premier League season.
Mason could now leave north London to take on the first managerial role of his coaching career.
It comes after he held talks with Belgian side Anderlecht back in October.
However, the former midfielder ultimately chose to remain in his role at Spurs, where he has two years left on his current contract.
West Brom are heading into their fifth consecutive season in the Championship next term.
The club have finished in the top six just once since their relegation in 2021.
They ended the campaign four points off the play-offs in ninth after beating Luton in their final fixture.
Mowbray's exit in April came after Carlos Corberan had previously left the Baggies earlier in the season.
Their former boss departed the club on Christmas Eve to take over at Spanish side Valencia.
