West Brom very likely to make Jayson Molumby deal permanent
West Brom announced the loan signing of Brighton midfielder Jayson Molumby on Thursday evening.
Valerien Ismael has been looking for reinforcements, and the Irish international has arrived at The Hawthorns after spending last season as Millwall.
Steve Madeley has shared the lowdown on the deal, with there being an option to make it permanent at the end of the season.
Writing on his personal Twitter account, the Athletic journalist shared that it is “very likely” it will be turned permanent.
“Deal done,” he wrote. “Molumby signed.
“Officially a loan but very likely to become permanent.”
Smart.
This is a deal that makes sense at every single level.
Alex Mowatt and Jake Livermore were the only senior options in midfield after Romaine Sawyers was allowed to join Stoke.
Looking at footage of the Irish international, he loves to press high and has relentless pressure that will suit this style perfectly.
This clip shows just how perfect he could be…
Ismael will want every last thing we see in this video, and that will be perfect off the bench initially.
Should the Baggies be defending a lead, or chasing a game, Molumby’s pressure and non-stop running will be perfect in either scenario.
There have been huge question marks over the strength-in-depth in this squad, but with Molumby and Jordan Hugill arriving, that has been somewhat fixed.
Both should be at Peterborough this evening, and although off the bench, could make their debuts ahead of the international break.
