Kevin Phillips shares verdict on West Brom window, makes Jordan Hugill prediction
We’re delighted to welcome former West Brom striker Kevin Phillips as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at The Hawthorns…
Kevin Phillips has insisted that West Brom loanee Jordan Hugill needs to get his career up and running again.
The experienced talisman arrived at The Hawthorns on loan from Norwich towards the end of the window and made his debut against Peterborough.
Phillips also believes that keeping Kenneth Zohore adds some competition in the final third, but Valerien Ismael could be missing one more striker.
Speaking exclusively to West Brom News, Phillips said, “I’d like to have seen that out-and-out striker.
“I know Hugill has come in but he needs to get his career up and running again, so keeping Zohore in the place, it gives that competition.
“I think overall, it’s been fairly decent, maybe would have liked to see another wide player coming in, only time will tell if it is a good window.”
Up and running.
Hugill has enjoyed a couple of successful seasons at Norwich and Queens Park Rangers, but can’t appear to find a home.
The striker finds the back of the net consistently but after he has done his job of firing his club to the Premier League, he moves on.
Ismael wanted reinforcements in the final third, and once Hugill starts finding the back of the net, he could be very hard to stop.
With Callum Robinson, Karlan Grant and Zohore also at the club, there are plenty of options ready when they need to be called upon.
