Leicester City winger ‘set to join’ West Brom in audacious last-minute deadline day swoop

West Bromwich Albion are reportedly about to pull off an audacious transfer swoop for Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton.

Football Insider reports Albrighton, who has struggled for game time with the Foxes this season, will sign for Albion on loan until the end of the campaign.

The 33-year-old has played just six times in the Premier League this term, though he did recently score in Leicester’s 2-2 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion.

With 19 goals and 47 assists across an almighty 295 appearances in all competitions for Leicester, Albrighton would head to the Hawthorns with plenty of experience.

He also played 102 times for Aston Villa, before signing for the Foxes in a free transfer swoop back in 2014.

Albrighton played a key role in the famous Leicester title win in 2016. He also has an FA Cup (2021) and Community Shield (2022) to his name.

If signed, he will become West Brom’s second incoming on deadline day, after Nathaniel Chalobah.

The Baggies are also trying a late swoop for Chelsea’s Omari Hutchinson.
