West Bromwich Albion boss James Morrison is building a squad to push for promotion. The Scottish boss has already signed Barney Stewart and Jimmy-Jay Morgan.
What's the current state of the team?
West Bromwich Albion finished 21st in the Championship with 51 points, 13 wins, 14 draws, and 19 losses from 46 games.
The goalkeeper and defence
Max O'Leary signed a new contract, but the Baggies might sign a new number one, potentially Alex Palmer from Ipswich Town. Palmer kept 29 clean sheets in 76 matches in his last 18 months with the Baggies.
The midfield
Ousmane Diakite signed a new contract, and Jayson Molumby, Alex Mowatt, and Diakite form a solid central midfield. Isaac Price and Morgan could compete for the number ten role.
The wingers and strikers
The arrival of Stewart means West Brom have competition up front with him and Aune Heggebo. Motherwell forward Elijah Just could be a dream addition to the squad on the right flank. The Baggies have been linked with a £3m move to bring Reyes Cleary back to the club from Barnsley.
