West Bromwich Albion are one of a 'few' Premier League teams keeping an eye on Rennes midfielder Clement Grenier, according to reports.
The Baggies are set to be active in the January window, as they look to get themselves out of trouble at the bottom of the Premier League.
They have already made two additions to the squad, bringing in goalkeeper Andy Lonergan from Stoke City and experienced winger Robert Snodgrass from West Ham.
But Allardyce is hoping to make further additions to his squad in the next few weeks .
"I'm hoping to be extremely busy in the window, as I have been busy at other clubs who have been near the bottom of the table," he said.
"It's a part of our process now to work tirelessly on outs and ins until the end of January. There's no point me beating about the bush - everybody knows what we need to do."
"..We need players in more than anyone else in the Premier League to give us a chance of moving out of the position we're in."
One of the latest players said to have caught the eye of West Brom is Grenier, who was on the scoresheet in Rennes' 2-2 draw with Lyon on Saturday.
According to journalist Alan Nixon, the Baggies are among the clubs interested in the 30-year-old.

He has also scored twice in his last three games.
