“It will be no shock” – West Brom player could be offloaded this summer: The verdict

This article is part of Football League World’s ‘The Verdict‘ series, which provides personal opinions from the FLW writers regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…

Kean Bryan could be deemed surplus to requirements at West Bromwich Albion this summer, according to The Athletic.

West Brom reporter Steve Madeley wrote the following on Bryan’s situation in a piece regarding the work West Brom have ahead of them this summer.

“West Brom have an abundance of centre-backs so, even if Bruce or his possible replacement as West Brom manager persists with a three-man defence next season, the number needs to be cut.” Madeley wrote on The Athletic.

“Kyle Bartley, Kean Bryan, Dara O’Shea and Semi Ajayi all enter the final years of their deals this summer and Bryan, who has not played since November because of injuries, might well be surplus to requirements.

“His lack of football might make it difficult to find a willing club to take him.”

Having only signed for the Baggies last summer, we asked three of our writers here at FLW for their thoughts on whether or not West Brom should be looking to offload Kean Bryan this summer, or, whether he deserves another chance to prove himself at the Hawthorns next season.

Kean Bryan’s West Brom spell has been a disappointing one for both the player and the club so it’s no real surprise that they may look to offload him this summer.

Obviously, injury issues have hampered his chances of making much of an impact but with his current deal expiring next summer, the upcoming window represents their last chance of getting a decent fee for him.

This season has shown that changes need to be made to the Albion squad and Bryan seems like an obvious candidate
