3 Players who could help West Brom achieve Premier League promotion including 11-goal Brentford star

Share

It didn’t come as a shock when West Bromwich Albion were relegated from the Premier League this season. Sacking two experienced managers in just a season reflected the mess that the Baggies were in.

Despite a late surge under caretaker manager Darren Moore, West Brom suffered the inevitable drop. However, what is better for West Brom than making Moore the permanent manager if they have any hopes of securing promotion to the Premier League next season?

According to BBC, Moore, who replaced Alan Pardew as a caretaker manager, is set to be appointed on a full-time basis by West Brom. Rightly so, the 44-year-old led the Baggies on an unbeaten run in April, with three wins and two draws.

Once confirmed in the role, Moore would face an uphill task to rebuild the squad with many stars set to leave the club in the summer. If Moore wishes to guide the club to the top-flight, here are three signings he should make in the summer transfer window.

Matej Vydra (Derby County)

Once a loanee at West Brom, Matej Vydra lightened up the Championship this season with 21 goals, ending up as the division’s highest goal-scorer.

Moore must sign the lethal striker, who netted just 3 times during his loan spell at the Hawthorns earlier in his career. He is 26 and has proved again that he can score plenty of goals at the Championship level. The Czech Republic international could become a prime asset for West Brom.

Ollie Watkins (Brentford)

Moore should be handed some decent cash by the West Brom board to spend on rebuilding his squad. West Brom desperately needs a shake up and one player they should add to their ranks is Brentford forward Ollie Watkins.

The 22-year-old hit 11 goals and grabbed 4 assists across all competitions in 2017-18. With his versatility, Watkins has been one of Brentford’s standout performers in what has been a difficult campaign for Dean Smith’s side.

Given Watkins’ attacking prowess, West Brom must act quickly to snap him up before he catches the eye of the Premier League teams.

Daniel Johnson (Preston)

Aston Villa must be wondering why they let go of an unheralded talent in Daniel Johnson for peanuts. Now at Preston, Johnson is one of the most underrated midfielders in the Championship.

 

The Jamaican-born playmaker couldn’t make the grade at Villa but has impressed with his performances for the Lilywhites. Occupying the holding role in front of the defence, Johnson dictates the tempo of the game with his quick passing abilities.

The 25-year-old has enjoyed a fine season with Preston and could be the ideal man to replace the ageing Gareth Barry, who has been heavily linked with a move back to Aston Villa.
