West Brom want new midfielder amid 'significant' Alex Mowatt exit interest

West Bromwich Albion want to sign a new midfielder amid uncertainty surrounding Alex Mowatt's future.

The Baggies are assessing all options this summer, as their attack has already been refined.

The Albion have welcomed Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Barney Stewart, with talks for Josh Maja to stay ongoing.

Departures have already started with Josh Griffiths, the latest to leave The Hawthorns, as they still want to sign another goalkeeper after the arrival of Matt Ingram.

However, midfield is one area that will be key for James Morrison next season, especially if he chooses to continue with his 4-4-2 formation.

West Brom fans had split opinions on Mowatt last season, and some may now get what they want with the Englishman this summer.

Alex Mowatt attracting 'significant' Championship interest

Mowatt has one year remaining on his contract, which gives Albion a crucial decision to make this summer.

The 31-year-old joined the Baggies from Barnsley in 2021, and his time at The Hawthorns has been turbulent.

Now, Mowatt could leave, as trusted West Brom source, EyaWeGew has provided an update on the midfielder on X on Saturday.

It's said that he is attracting "significant" interest from multiple Championship clubs.

Shilen Patel and Co. are open to listening to offers for the former Middlesbrough loanee, who could leave for nothing in just over 12 months if he isn't sold this summer.

Albion are in the market for a new midfielder this summer, though this is the case regardless of whether Mowatt stays or leaves.

There have been rumours that Mowatt could be going to Derby County, with manager John Eustace said to be a big fan.

However, Morrison may already know who his replacement could be.

West Brom may already have Mowatt replacement lined up

West Brom will have to make a decision on Mowatt one way or another, as they need to weigh up what's more important.

The former Barnsley man is a top Championship midfielder on his day, but that's not always very often anymore.

If the Black Country Club were to sell him, they could use the funds to go towards a new signing.

West Brom have been credited with interest in Alfie Devine, who spent the entire of last season on loan with Preston North End.

The Lilywhites are said to have triggered a buy clause in his loan deal, but the Tottenham youngster is yet to agree to moving, leaving the door open for the Baggies.
