And with a takeover thought to be edging closer, with Florida-based businessman Shilen Patel in talks with the Baggies hierarchy, there may be light in the end of the tunnel both on and off the pitch.

Corberan speaks out on potential Bristol City transfer

Most managers tend to not speak about players from other clubs that they have been linked with, but Carlos Corberan was happy to talk about potential Baggies signing Andi Weimann this weekend.

As revealed by BristolLive before the weekend, Albion and Bristol City were in talks to send the 32-year-old Austria international to The Hawthorns, with Corberan keen to add some more depth in the attacking areas of the pitch.

West Brom join chase for Leeds attacker

And per The Sun’s Alan Nixon via his Patreon account, Corberan is keen to sign Leeds forward Joe Gelhardt, who he did not work with when the Spaniard was Marcelo Bielsa’s assistant at Elland Road as their times did not overlap, but is still keen to acquire the 21-year-old.

Daniel Farke has seemed in no mood to let Gelhardt out on loan at this moment, but that stance may change towards the end of the transfer window – it would be a surprise however if Leeds were to loan the youngster out to a potential promotion rival.

Celtic and Rangers have also been linked with Gelhardt, as well as Plymouth and Blackburn Rovers.

Young West Brom player returns to Baggies following loan

In a surprise twist, West Brom striker Mo Faal’s loan deal at League Two side Doncaster Rovers has ended early.

A season-long deal was penned in the summer for the 20-year-old, and he netted nine times in all competitions for the Yorkshire outfit.
