West Bromwich Albion Having already welcomed Jamaldine Jimmo-Aloba, there are now reportedly “negotiations” underway to sign another talented youngster before the end of the transfer window.
Jimmo Aloba ‘determined to lift’ West Brom
It’s been a nightmare season for West Brom. The Lantern Bags find themselves locked in a shocking relegation battle championship Following the failure of Ryan Mason and the disaster of Eric Ramsay’s tenure so far.
The 33-year-old has been eaten alive by the brutality of England’s second tier and is yet to win a game in four attempts – conceding 12 goals in the process.
Although some people may think The writing is already on the wall With another young manager on their side, West Brom are hoping their latest signings can turn things around, especially Jimo Aloba.
The Aston Villa player joins on loan, returning to The Hawthorns for the first time since leaving as an academy graduate in 2023.
The 19-year-old attacker spoke on the club’s website after putting pen to paper explain: “This is where I most want to be because of the emotions and feelings I have for the club. Those emotions are still deeply imprinted in my heart.
“It’s a massive club that should be in a better position and I want to come here to help and do whatever I can. I’m determined to help the team improve.
“I’ve been here since I was six years old, so it’s a place I feel comfortable in. It’s positive for me to be back and I can’t wait to leave.”
It also looks like the Lantern Bags are turning to more young players to save their season. As well as Jimoh-Aloba, they are reportedly also eyeing a Crystal Palace gem.
West Brom ‘in talks’ to sign Mustafa
According to Fabrizio Romano, West Brom are now ‘in talks’ to sign Xindolo Mustafa Depart from Crystal Palace before the deadline. The attacking midfielder has just returned from a loan spell at Nuremberg in Germany and is now set to get his first taste of championship football.
Mustafa struggled for first-team opportunities both in Germany and at Crystal Palace. Relegation to the Championship could put an end to that, as he is mired in a relegation battle.
It’s a bold strategy from West Brom, who have relied on young players throughout the season.
Ramsey will have some work to do at this stage to prove the doubters wrong, especially after scoring a combined eight goals against Norwich City and Portsmouth, but the reinforcements should at least give his side a timely boost.
Next up, the Lantern Bags host Stoke City, a game that could feature some young debutants.
