Albion defender linked with exit
West Brom defender Alfie Gilchrist has been linked with a move to League One side Leyton Orient.
According to Sky Sports reporter Mark McAdam, the O’s are in discussions over a deal for the right-back.
The 22-year-old only joined Albion from Chelsea for £1.2million plus add-ons last summer.
Gilchrist made 15 appearances in all competitions last term - including 13 in the Championship.
Villa consider Grealish return
The Sun have claimed Aston Villa are considering the possibility of signing former winger Jack Grealish.
Grealish left his boyhood club to join Manchester City for £100million in 2021 and has won three Premier League titles, two FA Cups and one Champions League.
But Grealish has had his struggles with the Citizens and spent last season on loan at Everton, where his campaign was curtailed by a foot injury in January.
According to the report, Atletico Madrid are monitoring 30-year-old, while moves to Everton and Villa are also a possibility.
