Meet Khalil Robinson-Hooper - West Brom's next star already in the making

Khalil Robinson-Hooper could be the next big thing at West Bromwich Albion.

The Baggies have an exciting prospect on their hands in their academy, and it's not for the first time.

At just 13, he recently made his debut for the Albion's Under-16 team, coming on as a substitute in the 2-2 draw against Wolves.

Robinson-Hooper also recently signed a deal with Nike as he takes big strides in his development at The Fitlife Foods Performance Centre.

The youngster, who has played in midfield, seems to be going on an upward trajectory and is part of the England Under-15 Emerging Talent Camp.

Fans in B71 will want to keep their eye on how their academy ace develops before potentially breaking into the first-team squad.

What the future holds for Khalil Robinson-Hooper at West Brom

West Brom have a history of developing some impressive young talents over the years.

Morgan Rogers is perhaps the biggest modern-day success story of the Baggies' academy, becoming one of the most expensive players in the world after his move to Chelsea from Aston Villa.

Saido Berahino seemed to have the world at his feet at one point before eventually struggling.

The likes of Derek Statham have also laid the groundwork of what an Albion academy graduate can achieve.

Robinson-Hooper has multiple examples to follow at The Hawthorns and it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for him.

Three academy players James Morrison will be keeping an eye on

West Brom seem to be building a young and energetic squad for James Morrison.

The Baggies have had a strong start to the season, beating Rotherham United in the Carabao Cup and Norwich City in the Championship.

Considering the current lack of depth in the first-team squad, Morrison will certainly have his eyes on the academy.

Harry French has been making a name for himself in the Albion's youth teams, and the 17-year-old attacker may soon get an opportunity in the senior side.

Remar McNeil is one of the most exciting Baggies prospects right now, with the 17-year-old winger already becoming a regular in the Under-21s.

Alfie Maughan, the 2025/26 Men's Academy Player of the Season, is one to look out for this season, and Morrison may soon call upon the 18-year-old full-back.

One thing that will always be the case at West Brom, is that strong academy with a never-ending line of talent.
