West Brom could sign new midfielder
As per football journalist Pete O’Rourke, via his social media, both West Brom and Blackburn Rovers are plotting moves to try and sign Oxford United star Cameron Brannagan this off-season.
Brannagan, who was formerly on the books at Liverpool as a youngster before the U’s came calling, could well fancy testing himself higher up the Championship away from his current employers, who could be locked into a relegation battle after winning promotion up to the second tier surprisingly.
The 28-year-old certainly played his part in the underdogs leaping up to the Championship, scoring a crucial penalty to dump Peterborough United out of the play-offs on the way to a Wembley final success, and could help the Baggies recover from Okay Yokuslu’s anticipated departure.
