West Brom transfer latest: Leeds player wanted, Andi Weimann update, Striker loan deal ends

West Brom are on cloud nine right now after a 4-1 drubbing of Blackburn Rovers on Saturday afternoon, in a result which keeps them in fifth position in the Championship table.

And with a takeover thought to be edging closer, with Florida-based businessman Shilen Patel in talks with the Baggies hierarchy, there may be light in the end of the tunnel both on and off the pitch.

Albion have two weeks left, however, of the transfer window to make some moves to strengthen their hand for the remaining months of the season – let’s round up the latest transfer news from the weekend.

 

Corberan speaks out on potential Bristol City transfer

Most managers tend to not speak about players from other clubs that they have been linked with, but Carlos Corberan was happy to talk about potential Baggies signing Andi Weimann this weekend.

As revealed by BristolLive before the weekend, Albion and Bristol City were in talks to send the 32-year-old Austria international to The Hawthorns, with Corberan keen to add some more depth in the attacking areas of the pitch.

Bristol City boss Liam Manning has also confirmed that talks are taking place around the deal, saying: “It’s a possibility.
“It’s something that I don’t really want to talk about until it’s confirmed and finalised but, yeah, it’s a possibility it might happen.”
The Baggies are seemingly in the mix for another attack-minded player as well as Weimann, but they will likely be restricted to either loan moves or cheap deals because of their financial situation without a takeover for now.
And per The Sun’s Alan Nixon via his Patreon account, Corberan is keen to sign Leeds forward Joe Gelhardt, who he did not work with when the Spaniard was Marcelo Bielsa’s assistant at Elland Road as their times did not overlap, but is still keen to acquire the 21-year-old.
