West Brom line up exciting summer move for 'cheat code'; he is an 'unbelievable' talent

Highly-rated Bristol Rovers youngster Elliot Anderson is wanted by West Brom and a host of other clubs this summer, according to journalist Mark Douglas.

The 19-year-old has emerged as a hugely exciting player in League Two this season, catching the eye with his brilliance for Rovers.

Anderson has scored six goals and registered four assists in 20 matches from midfield, being described as ‘unbelievable’ by teammate Sam Finley.

The youngster is only on loan at Rovers, however, with Newcastle United his permanent club, and it could be that the Magpies allow him to head out to another team next season.

Taking to Twitter, inews‘ Douglas claimed that West Brom are in the race to sign Anderson on loan, calling him a ‘cheat code’:

This is exactly the kind of loan signing that the Baggies could do with next season  – a vibrant midfield presence who could bring end product and entertainment value to the team.

Granted, Anderson won’t likely be able to come in permanently but his performances for Rovers have shown what he is capable of and he should only improve in the coming years.

Steve Bruce is likely to want experience in his squad ahead of what is hopefully a Championship promotion push next season but having someone of Anderson’s raw ability would also make perfect sense.
