West Brom boss Darren Moore faces an incredibly tough challenge this summer, if he is to guide his side back to the top flight, and he will need to bring in some genuine quality to help him in his quest.

The Baggies have already sold Jonny Evans to Leicester, and with Ahmed Hegazi being linked with an exit from the Hawthorns, the addition of an established centre-back will be vitally important for Moore.

With this in mind, West Brom should consider a move for Everton defender Ashley Williams, who could be available for transfer this summer, according to a report from the Mirror.

The 33-year-old joined the Toffees from Swansea City in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £12 million, and he has gone on to chalk up 73 appearances in all competitions for the Blues.

Williams is an uncompromising defender in every sense of the phrase, and despite his advancing years, he still has plenty to offer at the very highest level.

The Wales international’s aggressive and tenacious approach to the game makes him ideally suited to the robust nature of the Championship, and bringing him to the Hawthorns could prove to be an inspired signing by West Brom.

His experience of playing at the very highest level, and his unwavering character would surely prove to be a superb asset to the Baggies, and if they manage to bring him to the Black Country this summer, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for them.
