West Brom, Wrexham & Middlesbrough face anxious wait as Premier League starlet 'considering' last-minute loan

West Bromwich Albion could still land a West Ham United star on loan this transfer deadline day.

West Ham midfielder George Earthy reportedly has offers on the table from a host of Championship clubs - including West Brom - for a last-gasp loan transfer on deadline day.

The Hammers academy graduate is eager to impress in the Premier League this season but may not have as many opportunities as first hoped, so a temporary transfer away is being pondered. It’s mightily late in the window with very little time left before it slams shut, but Earthy could still complete a loan move if a deal sheet is submitted in time.

ExWHUEmployee reports, via the West Ham Way, that Earthy could seal a last-ditch loan to the English second tier. “George Earthy is currently weighing up options from Bristol City – where he was on loan last season, West Brom, Norwich, Middlesbrough and Wrexham,” stated Ex on The West Ham Way Patreon.

Who is George Earthy - and will he complete deadline day deal?

Earthy, still just 20 years of age, is a current England Under-21 international. The midfielder, predominantly a number 10 but also capable of playing a little deeper or on either flank, spent last season on loan with Bristol, where he made 37 Championship appearances. Many of those outings were off the bench, but Earthy still proved his worth as a promising youngster.

The likeliest outcome appears to be Earthy staying with West Ham for the forthcoming season as he’s a boyhood fan of the club and is eager to make his proper breakthrough. Earthy has made just four senior appearances for the Hammers and he’s yet to feature this season, but his ambitions are clear.

Nonetheless, it’s still possible that Earthy seals a loan away, it’s just unlikely. Birmingham World understood West Brom are content with their depth in midfield but felt the opportunity to join the Earthy race was too good to turn down. Clarity is expected soon.
