Tom Rogic perfect to solve West Brom attacking crisis
West Brom are edging closer to completing the signing of veteran attacking midfielder Tom Rogic, according to the Express & Star.
The Baggies remained largely inactive in the recently concluded transfer window where they managed to sign just five first-team players.
It was clear that Steve Bruce was keen on signing players on a free transfer as four out of the five first-team additions were players who were without a club.
It seems like that trend is set to continue with West Brom closing in on the signing of the Australia international.
Good signing
West Brom started the campaign hoping to improve on what they did in the previous season where they finished in the 10th position in the league table, eight behind sixth-placed Luton Town.
One of the primary reasons why the Baggies finished so low on the table last season was their inability to score goals as they scored just 52 times in 46 matches, the lowest amongst the top 12 teams.
It was clear that Bruce was aware of the problem and he tried to address that by signing Jed Wallace and Brandon Thomas-Asante but so far, it seems that is not enough to solve the crisis as in the ongoing campaign, they’ve only managed to score 12 times in eight matches and thus are placed on the 16th position with just nine points.
Signing Rogic might well be the answer as he is someone who does not only have the creativity to provide a killer pass inside the 30-yard-box but also has a moment of magic in him where he can score a worldie from nowhere.
In 311 matches in his career, Rogic has already scored 51 times and provided 53 assists which shows that he is more than capable of producing the good for West Brom this season [Transfermarkt].
