Good News: Pundit: “This is not great news for West Brom” in response to Darnell Furlong’s revelations….

The Baggies missed out on promotion after they were beaten by Southampton in the play-off semi-finals, and according to journalist Alan Nixon, they will now sell Furlong in order to raise funds.

Furlong has one year left on his contract at The Hawthorns, but Albion will look to cash in on him this summer, and they could demand a fee of around £2 million for his services.

The 28-year-old joined the Baggies from Queens Park Rangers in 2019, and he has been a regular for the club ever since, going on to make over 200 appearances

Furlong starred for Albion during their promotion push this season, with head coach Carlos Corberan describing him as one of the best right-backs in the Championship, but he looks set to depart this summer, and Premier League clubs have been “alerted” to his availability.

Speaking exclusively to Football League World, Palmer said that Furlong’s departure will be a big blow to West Brom, and he believes the defender will have plenty of suitors in the Premier League and Championship.

It was a disappointing end to the season for West Brom as they were beaten by Southampton in the play-offs, and it could be a tough few months ahead for the club.

Despite the takeover by Shilen Patel, it seems that players still need to be sold in order to raise funds this summer, meaning that Furlong may not be the only key player to depart The Hawthorns.

Palmer is right that Furlong would be a huge loss, and if there is significant interest in him, the Baggies should try to secure the maximum possible fee for his services, which could reduce the need for further sales.

However, Albion will not just be concerned about potential player sales amid reports that Leicester City have identified Corberan as a potential replacement for Enzo Maresca should he leave for Chelsea, and the Spaniard’s exit would be the biggest blow for the club.
