Fabian Hurzeler wants to keep working with Yasin Ayari for longer at Albion, and is relaxed about the situation. According to TheArgus.co.uk, the club hold an option to trigger an extra year on his deal.

Ayari is under contract only for the remainder of this season, which has prompted concern among some fans about a free or low fee departure.

The scenario mirrors Leandro Trossards position in 2022-23, when Graham Potter said the club had a commitment beyond what was widely reported.

Ahead of Sundays trip to Coventry City, where the Sweden midfielder previously spent time on loan, Hurzeler praised Ayaris development over the past two years and his growing responsibility. He said he is very happy to work with him and hopes he stays longer.

Asked previously about supporterss worries, Hurzeler said he did not think they needed to be concerned and that the club are in dialogue with Ayari. Despite the option, Albion will be aware his progress and a World Cup display will have drawn attention and potentially opened up possibilities, though the head coach appears comfortable with the situation.
