‘West Brom want to sign Jacques Siwe’ as £2.5m transfer claim made
Guingamp striker Jacques Siwe could potentially move to West Brom this summer transfer window.
The Ligue 2 outfit were in contention for promotion last season, with the 23-year-old striker leading their line admirably.
Ryan Mason has been appointed at The Hawthorns, and the new head coach will undoubtedly want major reinforcements at the Baggies in the coming weeks.
Josh Maja has been pivotal for the Albion in recent seasons, but it remains to be seen how he performs after returning from a long-term injury, and a new talisman may be needed in the West Midlands.
Siwe attracting transfer interest from West Brom
West Brom are interested in signing Siwe from Guingamp this summer, according to L’Echo.
The news outlet reports (19 June) that the Baggies have the Ligue 2 outfit’s centre-forward on their radar as they plan to bolster their attack at The Hawthorns.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Ligue 2 | 28 | 11 | 2 |
It’s been claimed that several teams have already inquired about the 23-year-old Frenchman and could soon make an offer for him.
Siwe was Guingamp’s top goalscorer in the league last season, and he could potentially be valued at around £2.5million as per Transfermarkt.
Mason looking for attacking reinforcements at The Hawthorns
Mason has been eyeing Mikey Moore at West Brom since taking over as manager, indicating his desire to improve their attacking options.
The former Tottenham assistant coach could potentially have an edge in convincing the young forward to join the Baggies on a season-long loan from the North London outfit.
Will Lankshear’s loan from Spurs in the winter transfer window didn’t work out at the Albion, and it would be surprising to see him return.
West Brom also signed Adam Armstrong in February, but the Southampton loanee had an underwhelming spell at The Hawthorns.
The West Midlands outfit missed out on a play-offs spot in the Championship last season, and they will be hoping to change that in the upcoming campaign.
Maja’s injury undoubtedly derailed the Baggies’ chances of fighting for promotion, and Bilkul football must have surely released the importance of having a reliable goalscorer.
Siwe is still young and has shown a lot of potential during his time at Guingamp, and what the striker’s future has in store remains to be seen.
