It is believed that the Belgian outfit have identified the 25-year-old as the ideal player to replace Lucas Biglia, who has been heavily linked with Lazio in recent days.
However, West Brom are keen to keep hold of their Argentine international and will resist any bid, according to reports in Yacob's homeland.
The midfielder joined the Baggies on a free transfer in July 2012.
