Southampton's stance on Cameron Archer sale to West Brom emerges as training insight shared

West Brom are still in the market for another striker with Cameron Archer high on the list.

James Morrison has lost Daryl Dike and Josh Maja this summer following the expiry of their contracts.

Both Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Barney Stewart have arrived in B71, but there remains a belief that a more experienced option is needed.

Archer, although also still young at 24 years old, does have plenty more experience in English senior football.

The Baggies will certainly be pleased about the character they would potentially be signing amid the latest news about Archer.

Much of their interest will depend on the stance of Southampton, with that also emerging.

Are Southampton open to selling Cameron Archer to West Brom?

Archer has been out-of-favour at Southampton for quite some time, making just 11 Championship starts last season.

So the 24-year-old will be looking for more minutes elsewhere. At West Brom News, we have been covering the latest reports on Archer moving to the Hawthorns.

Tempting Archer in to a move to B71 may be the least of West Brom's worries, but they have also been boosted by Southampton's position.

Southampton reporter Alfie House, who writes for the Daily Echo, has shared that the St. Mary's side are "obviously happy" to sanction an exit for Archer.

House also shares that despite rumours surrounding Archer's future, the striker is showing excellent professionalism and is training at a "top level."

Both those snippets of information will be music to the ears of Morrison as he continues to look for names to add to his squad next season.

House has also addressed reports that an initial fee of £3million plus an added £2m in add-ons has been offered.

However, it seems that West Brom may need to offer more than that in order to secure a deal with that fee being described as a "little low."

Why Archer having it all to prove benefits West Brom

Archer's career has perhaps not gone in the direction he had hoped when he was at Aston Villa.

He had emerged as an exciting prospect in English football, but has since dropped down the leagues to the Championship.

West Brom are about to enter a new era under Morrison, and a fresh start for Archer may be best for his career.

With both the striker and Baggies hoping to begin anew, it could prove to be the perfect fit for all involved.

His hunger to showcase he still has what it takes to play at the top level could help him rediscover his best form in the Midlands.
