West Brom are set to complete the sales of three of their first-team squad, with rival supporters quick to air their views online.

As reported by John Percy on X [31 July], Albion are set to lose last season's top scorer Brandon Thomas-Asante to Coventry City for around £2.5m following the Sky Blues' hijack of Hull City's move for the striker.

Okay Yokuslu will return to his homeland with a £1.5m switch to Trabzonspor following links to several clubs in England and abroad, whilst the Baggies have agreed a £750,000 fee with Premier League Ipswich Town for Conor Townsend.

All three players' contracts at The Hawthorns expire next summer, with Albion fans seemingly content with a reshuffle in the squad despite just four arrivals so far.

Rival fans react to West Brom fire sale

Supporters of nearby clubs in the Midlands, such as Aston Villa, Birmingham and Wolves, have been quick to air their views on social media regarding the Baggies and their transfer business, following Percy's report.
