West Brom ‘to demand £10m for Tom Fellows’ after latest transfer news
West Brom managed to keep hold of Tom Fellows during the winter transfer window despite intense interest from Everton.
The 21-year-old has been in terrific form this season with two goals and 11 assists in 37 Championship appearances.
As a result, the Baggies look set to face further battles for Fellows‘ services in the summer transfer window, with Premier League clubs watching.
West Brom name Fellows demand
Although Everton were not able to reach West Brom’s valuation of Fellows in the winter window, the Toffees are not prepared to give up in their pursuit of the winger in the summer.
It has been reported that Moyes has instructed his scouts Alan Irvine and Charlie Adam to keep tabs on the Albion man between now and the end of the season.
Fellows is under contract at The Hawthorns until 2027 though, so if the Blues do want to lure him to Merseyside, they will have to pay for the privilege.
Although it was previously reported that the price for Fellows would be £20million, the required fee could be half that, according to ex-Everton scout, Bryan King.
“I don’t think it matters if West Brom get promoted or not,” King told Goodison News.
“Should they remain in the Championship, I’d still expect the asking price to be £10m. Moyes has asked Irvine and Adam to keep an eye on Fellows.
“However, the new people who arrive at the club are going to need to be instructed to keep an eye on Fellows. For any staff coming from Leeds, they will probably have a good idea about Fellows.”
West Brom need to get what they deserve for Fellows
It does seem inevitable that Fellows is set for an exit from the Black Country after the conclusion of this season as Everton are seemingly desperate for his services.
The 21-year-old has been in impressive form and is absolutely deserving of a step up to the Premier League.

If West Brom do gain promotion, the huge reward from Premier League football would be enough to see him remain and continue making a name at his club.
However, if they are going to let him go, Albion need to ensure they don’t end up getting less than they feel they deserve because they will have to reinvest the money to replace him properly.
Given recent PSR issues at The Hawthorns, a sale this big could certainly help put some money back into the team and level things out.
Nevertheless, Tony Mowbray’s side are continuing their push for promotion this term and sit sixth in the Championship table currently.
For now, the Baggies must retain their focus and use Fellows’ talent while they have him to push themselves as close to promotion to the top flight as they can.
