West Brom want to sign Tyrese Campbell in new transfer developments
West Brom want to sign former Stoke City striker Tyrese Campbell on a free transfer, according to the Daily Mail.
The newspaper has reported on its website that the Baggies are among several interested clubs in the 24-year-old including the likes of Rangers and Sheffield United.
Carlos Corberan is keen to bolster his attacking options after losing loanees Mikey Johnston and Andreas Weimann at the end of the season, while Daryl Dike isn’t expected to return from injury for several months [Mark Miles, 21 March].
West Brom need attacking reinforcements at The Hawthorns
West Brom know that they need to sign attackers this summer, and it’s no surprise that once again they are looking at the free-agent market.
The club need to raise funds this summer [Express and Star, 27 May] to make signings worth cash, but Corberan also is desperate to keep his squad together to push for promotion back to the Premier League once again.
Campbell has got plenty of Championship experience having played for Stoke for the last four seasons, and his form at the back end of the campaign helped them avoid relegation.
With Josh Maja suffering from injury problems too last season, Brandon Thomas-Asante was often left as the only natural option in attack and Jed Wallace regularly needed to fill in himself.
Campbell would be a low-risk signing that could come in and bolster the squad, but beating that level of competition won’t be easy and the team will have to move quickly to get a deal done.
