Carlos Corberan hasn’t minced his words heading into the opening weekend of the Championship season, stating thast Bromwich Albion will need to bring in around five or six players still thisummer, in order to have a successful campaign.

That frank assessment from the Spaniard came about after the rapid-fire departures of Okay Yokuslu, Brandon Thomas-Asante and Conor Townsend has undoubtedly weakened the depth the 41-year-old has at his disposal, with a number of fresh incomings neededsoon

A new striker in through the door feels like a major priority, with no Thomas-Asante around and Devante Cole’s new addition not exactly the most inspiring purchase, as the West Midlands club continue to battle it out for this free agent centre-forward.

West Brom face battle for free agent

It has been widely reported that West Brom are very much attempting to get Tyrese Campbell in through the door this summer as another presence to lead the line, but the Baggies could now face new competition to land his services.

According to a new report by WalesOnline, Campbell is now wanted by Swansea City, with Swans boss Luke Williams revealing his admiration for the ex-Stoke City man.

Still, West Brom won’t be deterred by the Welsh side throwing their hat into the ring over a potential deal to snap up the 24-year-old, knowing that they need a new star-man up top soon, to fill the gaping hole left behind by Thomas-Asante surprisingly moving on to Coventry City.

Previously showing an interest in Thomas Cannon from Leicester City too, it’s clear where the Baggies want to strengthen, with the potential for the new free agent purchase to dazzle alongside another new body into the building in the form of Lewis Dobbin, who has just joined on loan from Aston Villa to bolster Corberan’s men down the left channel.
