Southampton have an interest in signing West Brom forward Brandon Thomas-Asante, according to a report.
According to Football Insider, the Saints are ‘plotting’ a move for BTA after losing Che Adams on a free transfer to Torino. Adams led the line regularly for Russell Martin‘s side last season, and they will now need to bolster their front line as they gear up for their Premier League return.
The 25-year-old has now been identified as a possible replacement for Adams. He has finished as the Baggies’ top scorer for the last two seasons. In the last campaign, Thomas Asante scored 25 goals in 43 games in all competitions as WBA finished in the play-offs, eventually losing to Southampton.
West Brom bought Thomas-Asante from Salford City in August 2022 for a fee of around £300,000. He most recently spoke of his pride at representing Ghana after making his international debut, and spoke about his aims and objectives for the upcoming campaign.
“I’m feeling good and it was a really good summer,” he said to the official club website.
“I wanted to get more out of last year, but you’re always looking to improve more and more and that’s what I’ll be doing this time around too.”
