'The fans must have seen it' - Darnell Furlong hails what 'unstoppable' West Brom teammate has done

West Brom have made a terrific start to the new campaign, settling into fourth place in the Championship table following five wins and two draws in their opening nine fixtures.

Albion are winless in their last three outings but the overall outlook heading into the October international break is positive. Slap bang in the middle of the play-off positions, Carlos Corberan’s men are two points off Championship leaders Sunderland and two points ahead of the chasing Norwich City in seventh.

One player who has been key to the positive start is Karlan Grant, even despite the lack of direct goal contributions. The 27-year-old attacker’s Albion career seemed to be fizzling out when he was loaned to Cardiff City last term, but he’s been a mainstay on the left flank ever since his return.

Grant has displayed immense work rate and determination to progress attacks further up the field, so much so that £3 million summer signing Mikey Johnston has been resorted to the bench.

Furlong, seriously impressed by his teammate’s return to form, believes Grant’s resurgence has always been on the horizon. “It’s great to have him back. I always knew he had the quality to be here and he’s shown that in the early matches,” Furlong told West Brom’s website.

“The fans have seen it too and although there’s been moments where it’s not really gone his way, which is why he hasn’t been here during recent times, he’s always had the quality and sometimes the reason for this can simply be a matter of opinion.

“Carlos [Corberan] has shown his faith in KG and rightly so because he’s unstoppable on his day, he works hard for the team and if we want to achieve something this year, we definitely need players like him,” Furlong continued.
