West Brom to sign Marc Guiu from Chelsea?
Guiu joined Chelsea from Barcelona for £5million ahead of the 2024-25 season [Evening Standard], but has largely remained on the fringes at Stamford Bridge.
The 19-year-old has been restricted to just two appearances in the Premier League so far, meaning a late loan switch could be on the cards for him.
Guiu has strived to impress whenever he has started for the Blues, scoring a hat-trick in their 5-1 UEFA Conference League victory over Shamrock Rovers in December.
It has been known for a while that West Brom are keen to add a new striker to their ranks before the transfer window closes on 3 February.
