The Baggies have had their fortunes transformed since the arrival of Carlos Corberan back in October 2022, with the Spaniard taking the Black Country from the foot of the second tier table to play-off contention last campaign.
Albion continue to fight towards the top end of the division this term under the former Huddersfield Town coach, with the West Brom supporters dreaming of top flight football once again.
One player who has contributed significantly to Albion’s rise up the table under Corberan is Brandon Thomas-Asante, who was one of a number of summer arrivals under the tenure of Steve Bruce from Salford City.
The 25-year-old linked up at the Hawthorns for a reported fee of £300,000 in August 2022, and it’s fair to say he’s performed well above that figure during his stint in the Black Country so far.
Brandon Thomas-Asante’s numbers at West Brom
Thomas-Asante has made the step-up between two divisions with ease and demonstrated his qualities in front of goal with an acrobatic equaliser on his debut against Burnley. The forward would net a penalty in his next involvement in a West Midlands derby defeat to Birmingham City.
The Ghanaian would go on a 10-match run without a goal in between the departure of Bruce and arrival of Corberan, before scoring a goal of the season contender against Stoke City, as well as netting eye-catching strikes against Rotherham United and Bristol City heading into 2023.
Thomas-Asante was firmly thrown into the deep end for the final portion of the campaign, as Daryl Dike was ruled out with a long-term injury and the goalscoring form of Karlan Grant had deserted the team.
