West Brom to finalise Omari Hutchinson loan signing once medical completed
West Brom are looking to make their second signing of the January window on the deadline day after they have emerged as favourites to sign Chelsea’s Omari Hutchinson on loan, according to Simon Johnson.
Writing on the transfer deadline day live blog, The Atheltic journalist has reported that the Baggies look set to win the race, although Wigan Atheltic were interested.
The 19-year-old also attracted interest from other clubs in the Championship, but the Baggies have done a brilliant job in getting his signature. His move will be finalised once he completes his medical.
The Baggies have already signed Nathaniel Chalobah earlier today, and they are looking to bring in more players before the 11 pm transfer deadline.
Late additions
Carlos Corberan has done a terrific job at the club since taking charge from Steve Bruce.
In such a short time, he has made dramatic improvements. What felt at one point that the club is beyond resurrection, it doesn’t like that way now.
The Spaniard didn’t need to make wholesome changes to the side. All he needed was to make certain tweaks and it worked admirably well.
However, he needed help in the market. In order to secure promotion, West Brom need an extra injection of quality.
The new signings, hopefully, will provide that. Chalobah, for example, has got loads of Championship experience, and his quality is undeniable.
Hutchinson, on the other hand, is a fantastic young talent coming out of Chelsea. He has already made an appearance in the Premier League, and played twice in cup games.
However, he is unlikely to get regular games at Stamford Bridge and a loan move is ideal for his development.
It looks like the Baggies will sign him before Tuesday’s deadline.
