Sam Allardyce is willing to let Filip Krovinovic leave West Bromwich Albion in January with Greek giants PAOK interested, as reported by Record.
Considering the classy Croatian was very much a ‘Slaven Bilic player’, it’s no surprise his future at the Hawthorns has suddenly been thrown into doubt.
Bilic moved heaven and earth to bring Krovinovic back for a second spell with the Baggies in the summer.
But, just three months after the midfielder’s September arrival, Bilic has gone.
And his replacement, the more pragmatic Allardyce, has barely given Krovinovic a sniff of a chance since taking over in the Midlands.
The Benfica loanee has played just 11 minutes of football across Allardyce’s first four games in charge and was left on the bench once more during Saturday’s 4-0 shellacking at the hands of a rejuvinated Arsenal.
Record believes Krovinovic could now follow compatriot Bilic out the door, with ‘Big Sam’ unlikely to stand in his way.
PAOK are interested, although an agreement will have to be reached with parent club Benfica to cancel his short-term contract at West Brom.
Krovinovic shone during the Baggies’ promotion-winning Championship campaign but has struggled to exert the same influence in the top flight, starting just five times so far.
