West Bromwich Albion could make a second right-back signing this window after confirming Nolan Galves' arrival from Rodez. The Championship side are now eyeing Brodie Spencer from Oxford United, who were relegated to League One last season. Galves, 22, played 36 times in Ligue 2 last term, assisting eight goals as Rodez reached the playoffs. He became the first French defender from Ligue 2 to move directly to the Championship this century.
What has been reported on Brodie Spencer to West Brom?
West Brom have already signed goalkeeper Matt Ingram from Oxford this summer. According to Football League World, they could return for Spencer, who is also a target for Queens Park Rangers. The 21-year-old is versatile, capable of playing as a wing-back or centre-back. With Alfie Gilchrist the only other right-back option, Albion may seek further cover.
Why does this make sense for West Bromwich Albion?
Gilchrist struggled for game time last season, playing just 663 minutes. If Spencer arrives, the former Chelsea player may leave, with Portsmouth and Blackburn linked. Morrison’s squad lacks depth at right-back, making another signing logical. Spencer’s flexibility adds value, though Gilchrist’s exit could follow.
What comes next for West Bromwich Albion?
The club are still active in the transfer window, with Morrison targeting reinforcements. A second right-back could arrive, while Gilchrist’s future remains uncertain. With pre-season underway, Albion aim to strengthen before the Championship campaign begins.
