West Brom face 'plenty of competition' in nine team transfer tussle for Bournemouth star

According to Sky Sports, the Baggies along with Sunderland have been listed by journalist James Savundra as the two clubs that want to sign him on a season-long loan. Savundra added that he expects there to be 'plenty of competition' from Championship clubs to sign him.

According to HITC Sport, Sunderland were unsuccessful with an approach to Bournemouth for Jebbison. Their report like Sky Sports lists West Brom as a possible destination but says that Norwich City, Stoke City, Hull City, Derby County, Portsmouth and Stoke City have all made approaches, whilst Leeds United also have an interest but are instead focusing on signing a wide player.

As for WBA's stance, transfer insider DOOD (@EyaWeGew) said that talks had taken place last week but that no concrete offer had been made. TalkWBA say that it is only seen as an enquiry from a West Brom standpoint, and whether a move happens isn't known yet.

The 21-year-old has only been a Cherries player for 34 days after joining on a deal worth £1.5m from Sheffield United. His contract with the Blades had expired but the Premier League club had to pay a training fee in compensation after Jebbison came through their youth academy.

During his time as a player at Bramall Lane, he scored three goals in 35 games, and registered one assist. Born in Canada, ebbison has also been capped at under-18, 19, and under-20 level for England.

Jebbison has featured in Bournemouth's plans for pre-season and came off the bench to score in a 3-2 win over Girona in what was their final friendly before their season opener. He is under contract with the Dorset outfit until the summer of 2028.

West Brom are short on forward options but took great pleasure from Josh Maja’s hat-trick on the opening day of the season against QPR. The 25-year-old missed a majority of last season through injury but now leads the goal scoring charts after the first round of fixtures.

Daryl Dike is not expected to return until the New Year because of an Achilles problem. Devante Cole was signed this summer after leaving Barnsley, whilst academy forward Modou Faal was on the bench at the weekend.
