A whole host of West Brom fans appear delighted on Twitter with the latest news surrounding their pursuit of Adam Reach.
The former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder has been a free agent after leaving the Owls earlier this summer following their relegation into League One.
Will West Brom be promoted next season?
Yes!
No!
New manager, Valerien Ismael, is yet to pay a transfer fee for any player this summer and that looks set to continue, with West Brom reportedly closing in on the singing of Reach.
A lot of West Brom fans appear to be happy on Twitter with this latest transfer update when it was relayed by the Birmingham Mail’s Joe Chapman.
What have these Baggies fans had to say?
“Bearing in mind our threadbare squad, this is a decent signing imho.”
“Chapman with the update! *Insert poorly-photoshopped meme here*”
“Good signing. Wing back cover, loads of championship experience. Scored a screamer against us at Hillsbrough”
“Brilliant news!”
“Seems like good business. Experienced and will bulk out a thin squad”
“This is a smart pick up as a free agent, squad bolster”
Reach would arrive at the Hawthorns with plenty of Championship experience, having made 309 appearances in England’s second tier.
His versatility could be a big thing that’s attracted Ismael to him, as he can operate as a left-winger, midfielder or even at full-back, which would make him a very useful squad player across a 46-game Championship season.
