Premier League share new post on West Brom sensation – ‘Meant to be…’
West Brom will hope to welcome another breakthrough academy prospect into the fold this season.
Harry Whitwell and Deago Nelson have been touted as potential stars, with the former making his debut at the end of last season.
West Brom have made an effort to sign young players in recent seasons, with Isaac Price, who was named in the Championship team of the week after his display against Wrexham, among the most impressive.
But the Baggies will hope to produce more of their own, such as in the case of Tom Fellows, who has attracted interest from Everton following his superb form last season.
Premier League share Justin Seven-Seven message
Several future West Brom stars are currently plying their trade in the under-18 and under-21 teams.
The U21s comfortably survived relegation from the Premier League 2 last season, but have got this year off to a poor start after a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton.
The U18s, alternatively, finished rock bottom of the U18 Premier League South last season, but got off to a smashing start on Saturday 16 August by beating Ipswich Town 5-0.
Among the scorers were Harry French, Alfie Maughan, and Ryan Colesby, but it was the man with the brace who stole the headlines.

Striker Justin Seven-Seven got the scoring underway, before adding his second before half-time.
Premier League Youth took to social media on 18 August to share the scoreline, writing: “Justin Seven-Seven scored in the seventh minute for West Brom’s U18s at the weekend.
“He also trains with the number 77. Some things are just meant to be.”
As one commenter pointed out, Seven-Seven’s second goal came in the 34th minute – two digits that add up to seven if added together.
Justin Seven-Seven destined for first-team football
Seven-Seven would likely make his debut for the West Brom first-team this season, if it were up to the fans, who would like to see the striker sporting the number 77.
And if Ryan Mason is keen to get involved in the name-related gimmicks, he will bring the teenager on in the 77th minute.
Away from his name, Seven-Seven appears to be a genuinely exciting talent who may well feature for the Baggies in the future.
