Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton is currently at West Bromwich Albion’s training ground to decide on whether to complete a move to the Hawthorns, according to Sky Sports News.

It had been reported earlier this evening by Football Insider that the Baggies were attempting an audacious loan transfer for the Foxes winger. It is now set to be completed, as long as all the relevant paperwork is completed in time.

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.
