West Brom news round-up: ‘Crazy’ striker offer amid Mikey Moore claim
West Brom have plenty of transfer rumours circulating the Black Country club now that the transfer window is open.
Ryan Mason is searching for his first signing of the summer at The Hawthorns since he was appointed manager.
Numerous players have been linked to the Baggies as they prepare for the 2025/26 Championship season.
Therefore, West Brom News has provided a round-up of all the latest stories coming out of the Black Country club.
West Brom set to miss out on Jakov Medic
One target West Brom have been looking at is Jakov Medic.
The defender has struggled since he moved to Ajax and was sent on loan to the Bundesliga last season.
Norwich City have also shown interest in the centre-back as the Baggies planned to hijack their deal for Medic.
However, it has now become clear that West Brom will miss out on Medic after the Canaries agreed a fee with Ajax for the star.
Lawrence Shankland yet to decide new club
One attacker West Brom have been linked with is Lawrence Shankland.
The striker has shone at Hearts and has been a consistent threat in the Scottish Premiership.
Shankland was reportedly at West Brom’s training ground in early June as he pondered a move to The Hawthorns.

| Appearances | 137 |
| Goals | 68 |
| Assists | 23 |
However, the out-of-contract striker is yet to decide on a move, with multiple other clubs interested.
Now, Shankland reportedly has a “crazy offer” on the table from Saudi Arabia, with a deal now dependent on whether the Scot wants to move to the Middle East or not.
West Brom backed to seal Mikey Moore loan
One of the biggest positives of Mason’s move to West Brom is the links the Englishman has.
The former England international spent years at Tottenham and was most recently their assistant manager.
Now, there is a hope that Mason can use his Spurs links to attract potential loan deals this summer.
Mickey Moore is seen as an excellent upcoming talent in London and has already played numerous times for Tottenham’s first team.
Now, Lee Hendrie has backed the Baggies to sign Moore, believing the 17-year-old would be an excellent addition.
He said: “I think it speaks volumes of where [Mikey] Moore is at when big clubs in the Championship are looking at taking him on a loan deal to get some experience and regular game time.
“West Brom are a big football club with lots of potential, and I think that’s where they have to go down by getting loan players in.
“It doesn’t surprise me that bigger clubs in the Championship are looking to take him [Moore], and as I said previously, most teams in the Championship would want him because he’s got bags of potential, so I think it would be a great deal for West Brom.”
