West Brom transfer development emerges as Hull make multi-million Thomas-Asante bid
Hull City have issued a multi-million bid to secure the services of West Brom attacker Brandon Thomas-Asante, according to Lyall Thomas.
The Sky Sports journalist took to X on 29 July to claim that the Tigers have tabled an offer worth £2.5million for the Ghana international.
The 25-year-old was a first-team regular for Carlos Corberan in the 2023/24 Championship campaign.
Thomas wrote: “Hull interested in West Brom’s Brandon Thomas Asante. Understood to have made a £2.5m offer. Among several clubs keen on the striker.”
West Brom must negotiate for a higher transfer fee for Brandon Thomas-Asante
The Baggies must negotiate for a higher transfer fee for Thomas-Asante because his value to the team exceeds the current offer.
The 25-year-old has been a consistent performer and while he’s not delivered big numbers, his contributions have been crucial, especially in the absence of other key strikers due to injuries.
Selling him for less than his worth could undermine the team’s competitiveness and financial stability.
Moreover, securing a higher fee would allow West Brom to reinvest in a striker who can potentially outperform Thomas-Asante.
This strategic move could elevate the team’s overall performance and competitiveness in the league.
It’s essential to find a replacement who not only matches but exceeds Thomas-Asante’s abilities, ensuring the team’s continued success.
The Baggies have to target promotion in the upcoming season after narrowly missing out last time.
