West Brom continue to eye another move for Danny Imray - this time potentially on a permanent basis.

The right-back joined the Baggies on loan in January and went on to play a key role in avoiding relegation.

He quickly became the go-to man for James Morrison and his dynamism worked a treat down the flank.

The end of the campaign was always going to see the 22-year-old return to Selhurst Park.

His future at Crystal Palace is certainly up in the air, something which is only growing as the summer window goes on.

West Brom still want Imray back at The Hawthorns and are looking at getting a deal done.

What deal would Crystal Palace accept for Danny Imray?

The Englishman was a difference-maker in his 17 appearances while on loan in the Midlands.

His pace and attacking talent down the right caused problems for opposition defences.

That wasn't to say he let himself down defensively as he was more than serviceable at the back.

It seems that his talents have caught the eye away from B71 after the latest from journalist Steve Tudgay on Wednesday.

He suggested via Full Throstle that West Brom are one of eight Championship sides in the race to sign Imray this summer.

The report suggests that a loan move is the most likely at this stage, although Palace are open to permanent deal "at the right price".

Stoke City and Wrexham are said to be interested as things appear to be getting difficult for the Baggies.

How much could West Brom pay for Imray?

Ironically, the defender's excellence in B71 has only made it harder for Morrison to bring him back in.

Interest is building and Albion should be able to feel confident that they can get him back this summer.

The best way to avoid any worries could see a permanent deal become the best option.

A £3million swoop already looks to be on the cards for Cameron Archer, so could the pursestrings remain open for Imray?

If they did, it could take a similar fee to get a deal done.

Crystal Palace rejected £750,000 from Wycombe Wanderers in January 2025 and his stock has only risen since then.

If the Baggies could stretch themselves to a few million extra spend, it could prove to be some of the best business they could do.
