The article discusses West Brom’s potential interest in signing Peterborough United star Kwame Poku, with the belief that such a signing could enhance the Baggies’ chances of automatic promotion. Poku, 22, has been in impressive form in League One, registering six goals and six assists, leading the assists chart for the division.
While West Brom has not paid a transfer fee since acquiring Nathaniel Chalobah in January, a proposed takeover by parties in the United States could potentially provide funds for transfers in the upcoming January window. Carlton Palmer, an England international, believes that the signing of Poku would strengthen West Brom’s promotion prospects.
Several Championship teams, including West Brom, Sunderland, Millwall, Ipswich Town, Stoke City, and Bristol City, have been linked with an interest in Poku. However, a report from Bristol Live indicates that Bristol City is not currently considering Poku as a target for attacking reinforcements.
The article notes that West Brom manager Carlos Corberan appreciates versatile players who can play in different positions, especially with Daryl Dike facing challenges in terms of consistent fitness and games. It suggests that Corberan may be exploring additional options to strengthen the squad, especially if the proposed takeover materializes, aiming for a push for a play-off place or even automatic promotion.
