He’s valued at around £3million and can also operate in midfield in a more attacking role.
Junior has a Bulgarian passport which would help in sealing a move to the London Stadium or the Hawthorns.
The Hammers have prioritised signing a right-back this summer as they remain threadbare in that area of the field.
Pablo Zabaleta's decision to leave the club means they are left with just Ryan Fredericks to fill the role.
They have been linked with a move for Barcelona's Moussa Wague with David Moyes keen on the 21-year-old.

Meanwhile the Baggies are also looking to add numbers as they plot their Premier League survival bid.
