West Brom Nears Defender Chris Mepham Signing From Bournemouth

West Brom, under manager Ryan Mason, are actively strengthening their squad ahead of the transfer deadline, focusing on defensive reinforcements and attacking options. They have agreed terms with Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham, who is set to undergo a medical before finalizing his move; Mepham brings valuable Championship promotion experience from his loan at Sunderland. West Brom have also made notable signings including Nat Phillips, George Campbell, and Aune Heggebo, but remain in the market for a left-back, an attacker, and potentially another centre-back should a player depart, with Caleb Taylor likely to move on. Despite interest, West Brom missed out on Liverpool midfielder James McConnell, who is poised to join Ajax instead. Additionally, the club is exploring options such as Tottenham’s Dane Scarlett and free agent Jamal Lewis to bolster their squad depth. Overall, Mason is determined to build a competitive team capable of maintaining their unbeaten streak and pushing for success this season.
