West Brom attacker Karlan Grant is unlikely to be part of Carlos Corberan’s plans for the 2024/25 season, as reported by Lewis Cox of The Express and Star on July 12. Cox mentioned in a video that while a permanent sale is improbable this summer, Grant may attract loan interest following his spell at Cardiff City last season.

Cox stated, “In all honesty, no. That’s coming from a bit of information of what we’ve gathered and what we understand. I see Grant going out again (on loan). I don’t see a sale. Albion still paying Huddersfield the hefty fee he cost four years ago. Those kinds of financial reasons are why he took the loan to Cardiff last season. The bulk of Karlan Grant’s wages were paid by Cardiff. Karlan Grant, decent age, probably has suitors, you would suspect, in terms of clubs willing to take players of his profile on loan this season.”

He added, “Even if the market doesn’t quite go Albion’s way and a couple of wide targets don’t quite land for whatever reason, I’m not sure I see Grant as part of the squad. I just can’t see it really.”

West Brom must prioritize bringing in quality attackers this summer to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. With Grant not expected to be part of Corberan’s plans, there’s a gap in the attack that needs to be addressed. This is crucial as the team looks to improve on their fifth-place finish in the Championship last season. New attacking talent can enhance the team’s offensive capabilities, crucial in the competitive Championship where scoring goals is key to securing victories. Additionally, fresh attacking options can add a new dynamic to Corberan’s tactical setup.

Furthermore, bringing in quality attackers can serve as a statement of intent from the club, demonstrating their ambition to compete at the highest level.
