Boss Carlos Corberan hopes Albion are active in today’s transfer deadline – though exits remain at least as important as any late signings.

The entire summer window has revolved around bringing in funds and lowering Albion’s unsustainable wage bill in the absence of investment via ownership or parachute payments.

Corberan and supporters have had the ultimate test in patience. The boss wants to add to sole arrivals Jeremy Sarmiento and Josh Maja and is desperate for cover and competition at right-back and in attacking midfield.

It is understood there are funds available for at least one new recruit today – free agent Reggie Cannon is an option but Leeds right-back Cody Drameh loan interest reports are wide of the mark – but more could rest on exits from The Hawthorns.
