'Does he': George Campbell right back view after West Brom £1.5m new boy makes bow

US international George Campbell is one of three new recruits so far. He is a centre-back by trade but dubbed versatile, mostly out on the right. He has, however, came on twice at left-back so far. (Photo by Malcolm Couzens - WBA/West Bromwich Albion FC via Getty Images)placeholder image

Lewis Cox and Jonny Drury discuss where George Campbell could fit into Albion's side this season.

Campbell signed for £1.5m from Montreal earlier this month - and became Albion's second central defensive signing after Nat Phillips.

Naturally a centre back, Campbell has also operated at right back for clubs in the US during his career.

He came on as a half time substitute in the defeat to Lincoln City on Saturday.

Jonny and Lewis look at whether he merely is there to provide cover - or whether he could potentially be a possible right back replacement for Darnell Furlong.
