West Brom: Callum Robinson spotted at Cardiff City Stadium ahead of exit
West Brom attacker Callum Robinson has been spotted at the Cardiff City Stadium ahead of the deadline day move to Wales on Thursday (01 September).
The Irishman is set to leave The Hawthorns on a permanent deal after failing to make much of an impact under Steve Bruce since his arrival.
CCFC Insider dropped the video on their Twitter account in recent hours, with the final parts of the deal likely to be concluded soon way ahead of the deadline.
“Callum Robinson at the CCS,” they wrote.
It has been reported by BBC Sports Wales earlier on Thursday that a permanent move will be worth around £1.5million to both clubs.
Of course, it will all be profit for the Baggies given Robinson arrived at The Hawthorns for no money in a straight swap for Ollie Burke at Sheffield United.
More Needed.
This may be deemed as a good deal, but it means that the Baggies need to make another striker signing.
Brandon Thomas-Asante has arrived from Salford in the past 48 hours, but that will not be enough and Bruce will need to push for more new strikers.
Robinson hardly played despite being available throughout the season, and with Daryl Dike and Kenneth Zohore still injured, that is three names gone or out.
Thomas-Asante will need time to gel in the Championship after leapfrogging League One to make the move which is huge for his career at this stage.
With Karlan Grant still not 100% convincing in that central role over his left-wing antics, a big new shiny number nine could come in and get the chance to start immediately.
It’s time to wave goodbye to Robinson, and hopefully hello to someone taking his spot very soon in the coming hours.
In other West Brom news, the club have already been dealt a “massive kick in the head” in this transfer window.
