West Brom eye three new signings as Steve Bruce looks to continue transfer blitz
West Brom are looking to add three more major new signings to their squad this summer, according to the Express and Star.
The newspaper has reported on their website that the Baggies will now look to bring in a new full-back, central midfielder as well as a new striker.
Steve Bruce is looking to continue his early transfer blitz after the arrivals of John Swift and Jed Wallace were confirmed ahead of a return to pre-season training.
It is shared that Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury remains a top target for one of those positions, despite talk of a loan move going quiet in recent weeks.
Another name is Cameron Archer at Aston Villa, with a loan deal possible after his temporary switch to Preston last season where he scored at The Hawthorns.
There is no mention of who could be targeted for either side of the defence, though, with that likely not a priority given Conor Townsend and Darnell Furlong’s status.
Blitz.
This is very smart from Bruce and Ron Gourlay.
It has been very clear for numerous years now that an overhaul of this squad has been needed, yet it has taken two people only here for a matter of months to point that out.
Thankfully, everyone has agreed on that front and bringing in Wallace and Swift was the perfect start for that.
Some players will need to go the other way, which has been made very clear by Bruce in this same report, so that may be expected before any more incomings are announced.
It is more likely to be a right-back than left-back that is targeted looking at the squad, with Taylor Gardner-Hickman currently the back-up option for both sides.
Dara O’Shea can also play on the right though, so that covers another option for Bruce as he looks to improve the depth on offer at The Hawthorns.
