West Brom weigh late moves as Morrison seeks depth before deadline | OneFootball

West Bromwich Albion head into deadline day seeking late additions after Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Middlesbrough and Sunday’s signing of midfielder Toby Collyer.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, further movement is possible before the 11pm cut-off, with Collyer confirmed as recruit number nine a day after that defeat. Early leaders Charlton visit The Hawthorns on Wednesday.

Morrison wants two players per position, though he has admitted that may be a stretch this window. He would like another centre-forward, with Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Aune Heggebo starting well but support limited. Barney Stewart, 22 and a £1.2m signing from Falkirk, is a project.

Right-back also looks light. Nolan Galves, 23, is adapting after a move from France, and academy graduate Alex Williams, 21, impressed in the EFL Cup at Newcastle but still lacks experience.

Morrison said he is hopeful and working hard to add the right players, and stressed the need to be clever and patient.

Transfermarkt lists Albion’s squad at 23, the smallest in the division. He wants numbers up before 11pm on Tuesday, and while exits are not planned, he hopes not to lose any more, though the £2.5m sale of Krystian Bielik to Cardiff showed plans can change.

Late interest cannot be ruled out in winger Mikey Johnston, currently sidelined by an ankle problem, or midfielder Jayson Molumby. Morrison will not want to weaken those areas so late. An intriguing final 36 to 48 hours awaits.
