‘Callum Styles packing his bags at West Brom’ as Montréal deal nears completion
Callum Styles could soon be on his way out of West Brom.
The Hungary international has begun pre-season seemingly as the starting left-back under the watchful eye of Ryan Mason.
This may be set to take a surprising twist in the coming days and weeks as the transfer window becomes more frantic at The Hawthorns.
It appears that an exit could now be on the cards for the 25-year-old as a deal in the MLS looks likely to be completed after recent links.
Styles exit edges nearer after Montreal talks
The performances of the versatile defender have come as a surprise to many, given the lack of positive reviews from Barnsley fans last summer.
Featuring as a left-back, the Albion number four has caught the eye on many occasions despite a generally difficult few months for the B71 club.
Despite this, his minutes could soon be limited in the upcoming Championship season if he can’t agree on a move away from the Black Country.
This comes after West Brom edged closer to signing George Campbell from CF Montréal as a deal looks set to be finalised with the MLS outfit [Give Me Sport, 13 July].
The centre-back would likely come in and demand a starting role at The Hawthorns, something which would likely see Torbjorn Heggem return to his role as regular left-back.
This could see Mason utilise a pairing of the 24-year-old American and new signing Nat Phillips, with the Norwegian featuring as full-back.
It is fair to suggest that this would spell bad news for the playing time for Styles moving forward.
Campbell signing spells bad news for Styles at West Brom
The Albion fanbase are excited to see their side be linked with yet another signing who could have a telling impact on the squad next season.
At 24, the USA international has racked up over 100 appearances in MLS, featuring for both Montreal and Atlanta United in the past five years.

| Appearances | 106 |
| Goals | 2 |
| Assists | 4 |
Now, a move to the Championship is on the cards, as Campbell looks set to link up with his fellow countryman Daryl Dike in the Midlands.
It will certainly be interesting to see what that means for Styles and how willing he would be if he were to become a second-choice option.
