West Brom want to sign Peterborough star after wowing in League One
West Brom face an uncertain summer ahead of them, with plenty of change on and off the pitch to come.
The sacking of Tony Mowbray has led to a lengthy managerial search, with a replacement yet to be found for the 61-year-old.
Potential new signings have been linked to the club, as the squad faces a summer overhaul.
Championship clubs compete to sign Peterborough’s James Dornelly
Peterborough defender James Dornelly is one of the names on the radar for West Brom this summer.
The Baggies are known to be fans of the 20-year-old, who signed a five-year contract in August.
According to Football League World (29 May), however, The Hawthorns club face stiff competition from a host of Championship clubs for the signing.
Coventry City, Blackburn Rovers and Oxford United are all thought to be interested in Dornelly who impressed greatly in League One this season.
Fulham have also been linked with the defender after a breakthrough season, which saw him make 36 appearances for the Posh.
Dornelly is a product of Peterborough Academy, so a significant fee will probably be needed to prise him away.
West Brom have already seen departures in defence this summer, so the England Under-20s international would be a good piece of business.
West Brom face a summer of change
A Mowbray replacement has not been found yet, although the Baggies are still keen to strengthen the squad that just missed out on the play-offs.
As well as Dornelly, another player who impressed in League One has been linked with the Midlands club.
West Brom are said to be keen on Tottenham’s Jamie Donley, who was on loan at Leyton Orient, playing 51 times for the O’s this season.
Senegalese defender Gora Diouf is another name the club has been linked with as they look to replace the seemingly departing Semi Ajayi.
Other exits from the Hawthorns appear to be on the cards, as the squad looks set for a shake-up ahead of next season.
Birmingham City are set to test the club’s resolve for midfielder Tom Fellows, although they would prefer not to sell.
Grady Diangana and John Swift are also leaving, following the expiry of their contracts at the end of the season.
