West Bromwich Albion are on the verge of signing Rodez AF right-back Nolan Galves. This comes as a big relief to Baggies boss James Morrison, with the position having looked problematic ahead of the new campaign.
What happened?
The Baggies have been linked with several right-backs, but it appears they are set to win the race for Galves.
Why it matters for West Bromwich Albion
Galves is said to have agreed a four-year deal with the Baggies, and his signing would address a major problem area for the club. With the new season looming, West Bromwich Albion are looking to improve on their 21st place finish in the Championship last season, where they earned 51 points from 46 games, with a recent form of LDWWD.
What comes next?
The signing of Galves would be a major boost for West Bromwich Albion, but they still need to address other areas of their squad. They are currently sidelined without Mikey Johnston, and are looking light in the final third, with a new winger or two and another striker a priority. As West Bromwich Albion prepare for the new season, they will be looking to close the gap on leaders Coventry, who finished 44 points ahead of them last season. With 48 goals scored and 58 conceded, West Bromwich Albion will be looking to improve their goal difference and make a push for the top of the table.
