West Brom eye international midfielder as Eric Ramsay wants transfer
West Brom are interested in Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Andrew Moran in the final hours of the winter transfer window.
Eric Ramsay just saw his side lose to Portsmouth at Fratton Park in the Championship on 31 January, with goals from Conor Chaplin, Millenic Alli and Ebou Adams.
While the Welsh manager isn’t helping himself with some of his decisions at the Black Country outfit, it’s clear that the Baggies need more quality in their squad.
Moran scored four goals and provided three assists in 35 Championship appearances for Stoke City last season, and after spending a few months in MLS with Los Angeles FC, the Republic of Ireland international is now looking for another move.
Eric Ramsay wants midfield reinforcements before transfer deadline at West Brom
West Brom are joined by Preston North End and Huddersfield Town in the race for Moran, according to Football League World.
The news outlet reports on 31 January that Ramsay is keen on bolstering his midfield at The Hawthorns, and the three-cap international is on the Albion’s radar.
It’s been claimed that Brighton want to loan out the 22-year-old because of the options already at their disposal.
Moran has shown he can cut it in a Championship relegation scrap, with Stoke finishing just two points above 22nd-place Luton Town last season.
The situation at the Baggies is such that dropping down to League One at the end of the season now seems like a realistic possibility.
Who would’ve thought at the start of the season, when Ryan Mason was competing for a play-offs spot, that the Black Country club would be in the predicament they’re in?

The 33-year-old head coach has drawn one and lost three games since taking over at the West Midlands outfit.
Bilkul Football have made some baffling decisions in recent months, with the most damaging being their handling of the transfer windows: selling players like Alex Palmer and Tom Fellows without adequately replacing them.
Mason’s appointment ended up being a failure, and Shilen Patel and Andrew Nestor are in for more ridicule as things only seem to be going downhill under Ramsay in B71.
