West Brom loanee may consider options in January, Stoke interested in deal – report
Chris Willock could consider his options in the January transfer window due to his lack of game-time on loan at West Brom this season, according to the Daily Mail.
Willock, 21, has not made a single appearance for the Baggies since Slaven Bilic signed him on a season-long loan from Benfica in the summer.
The former Arsenal attacker has been restricted to playing for the Under-23s, where he has scored four goals and supplied five assists in 10 Premier League 2 appearances.
However Willock’s impressive form in the Under-23s has not led to him catching the eye of Bilic and it is now reported that he could be on the move in the January transfer window.
The Mail claims that Stoke and Huddersfield are interested in snapping up the England Under-20 international if he does leave The Hawthorns.
It would not be a shock if that happened.
Willock’s career is going to stall if he is not playing regular first-team football and based on the fact that he has not even made the bench for the Baggies in the Championship this term, suggests that he is very far down Bilic’s pecking order.
Even Grady Diangana’s recent injury setback has not let to Willock being tested by Bilic, so Albion fans should probably expect the ex-Arsenal youngster to move on next month.
