The West Bromwich Albion winger has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

West Brom boss Darren Moore spoke exclusively to the Express & Star, and seemed to hint that Nacer Chadli still very much features in his plans, when asked to provide an update on the Belgian international’s current situation at the Hawthorns.

Chadli joined the Baggies from Tottenham in the summer of 2016, but he has struggled to make a real impact with the Black Country club, chalking up just six goals and five assists in 38 appearances in all competitions.

The 29-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from the Hawthorns this summer, but as yet, a move away has failed to materialise.

And Moore seemed to hint that Chadli still features in his plans, when speaking exclusively to the Express & Star:

“Chadli is getting fitter, he’s back in training. As the days go by he’s getting ever closer to full fitness.”

If Chadli does remain at West Brom, he will surely have a major role to play in their push for promotion, and there will be plenty of Championship clubs who are envious of the Baggies having a player with so much quality amongst their ranks.
