West Brom are eyeing promotion from the Championship to the Premier League
West Brom turned to Tony Mowbray as their manager earlier this season. They appointed the former Sunderland and Middlesbrough man after Carlos Corberan’s exit to Valencia.
The Baggies are sat in 6th place in the Championship table and drew 1-1 with Hull City last time out. They are inside the play-offs along with Burnley, Sunderland and Coventry City.
They have eight fixtures left to play and are only above Bristol City in 7th on goal difference. We have asked AI (Grok) to predict five players they could sign this summer if they get promoted to the Premier League and to incorporate them into a best starting XI. This was the response…
Goalkeeper and defenders
AI has predicted that Sam Johnstone will return to West Brom. AI has said: “Sam Johnstone, currently playing for Crystal Palace, has a strong connection to West Brom, having spent four years with the club from 2018 to 2022. During his tenure at The Hawthorns, he made over 150 appearances and was instrumental in their promotion to the Premier League in the 2019-2020 season. His familiarity with the club, its fans, and its culture could make a return appealing for both parties.”
Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies has been backed to join the Baggies. AI has said: “He offers versatility and extensive Premier League experience. Capable of playing as a center-back or left-back, he’d provide West Brom with flexibility in their defensive setup, whether Tony Mowbray opts for a back four or three. Davies has made over 300 appearances for Tottenham since joining in 2014, including regular stints in the Premier League, Champions League, and as a Wales international with over 80 caps.”
Elsewhere at the back, Darnell Furlong and Callum Styles would keep their places in the starting XI. Torbjørn Heggem has made a positive impression since his move to England last year.
