West Brom: If nothing happens, these 8 players will leave the Hawthorns
FLW lists the Albion players set to leave the Hawthorns this summer.
As the Championship season draws to a close, West Bromwich Albion will wave goodbye to a number of senior players at the end of the season.
The Baggies are searching for promotion back to the Premier League at the third attempt under Carlos Corberan and are likely to mount a push to the top flight despite limited financial resources during the Spaniard’s tenure.
With Shilen Patel acquiring a majority stake in the club, a number of players are set to depart after the end of this term to help fund investment into the club next season, so Corberan can stamp his own authority on the playing squad.
Martin Kelly is out of contract this summer after arriving under the tenure of Steve Bruce from Crystal Palace.
The experienced former top flight defender fell out of favour under Corberan and was loaned out to Wigan Athletic last term but suffered a serious knee injury on his debut at Blackburn Rovers – keeping him out for the remainder of that season.
The 33-year-old has faced multiple setbacks in his recovery since returning to B71 and is unlikely to receive a new deal with such hefty competition in the heart of the defence.
Nathaniel Chalobah’s contract is winding down at the Hawthorns after making his move to the Black Country outfit during the 2023 January transfer window.
The 29-year-old has not always seen eye-to-eye with the Albion faithful due to some of his performances and has failed to cement his place as a regular presence in the starting lineup.
With this move proving to be largely unsuccessful, Chalobah is set to be looking for a move elsewhere this summer.
Former Sunderland midfielder Yann M’Vila reunited with Corberan as a free agent after the 2024 January transfer window, having played for him at Olympiacos, but has played just a handful of games for the club.
The former French international offers further depth in the midfield department for the final run-in of the Championship season but will have to show more over the rest of his time at the club if he is to earn an extension.
