West Brom are interested in Trevoh Chalobah, according to reports on the often reliable Football.Insider.
The midfielder shone in a relegation battle in Ligue 1 last season, helping Lorient avoid the drop with important goals and some really solid play in midfield.
That built on a previous loan spells in England with Ipswich and Huddersfield in the Championship.
So links to West Brom are a little disappointing, given he was already a Championship regular three seasons ago and was playing in a top 5 European league this season. We think he’d do well at West Brom – but when will he get the chance in the Premier League?
Perhaps a season at the Hawthorns looking top class is what he needs – or perhaps he should hold out and see if he gets any more interesting offers from across Europe? That’s what we would like to see, especially after such a promising year in France.
