West Brom youngster Reyes Cleary has made his first loan move in professional football after completing a deal to Walsall for the rest of the season.

 

After impressing largely in the Baggies’ academy, Cleary is hoping this loan spell could develop the player, with the top talent having a potential that could skyrocket.

 

His dominance in development football has seen interest from the likes of Borussia Dortmund, exaggerating how high Cleary’s ceiling actually is.

The 20-year-old recently signed a new one-year contract last month at the Hawthorns after appearing for Carlos Corberan’s men on seven occasions.

 

The winger featured in the last 20 minutes of West Brom’s 2-1 defeat to Fleetwood Town in the EFL Cup, with Corberan previously praising the youngster after a hamstring issue hindered his progress.

 

In 2023, the Baggies boss told the Shropshire star: “He must rediscover his level because still the fact he had a long-term injury demands time from him to recover and be ready. We involved him at Coventry on the bench.

 

“Only once have we considered that he is ahead of other players so that he might be on the bench with the first-team.

 

“That’s how players progress. Cleary is clearly a player with potential who needs to keep growing.”

 

Cleary is a talent that has been on the Baggies fans’ radar for a while now, and they will keep a keen eye on the youngster at Walsall.

The Dortmund interest stemmed from comparisons that Cleary could live up to being the next ‘Romelu Lukaku’, with the Chelsea and Belgium forward flourishing in his time at the Hawthorns, scoring 17 goals in the Premier League.

 

This comparison could be likely with Cleary being noted for his powerf­ul playing style, with him possessing significant strength and speed for his age.
