West Bromwich Albion are hoping to sell Kenneth Zohore, Kieran Gibbs and £15 million record-signing Oliver Burke after sealing a return to the Premier League, according to the Telegraph.
After the Baggies turned their promotion challenge into something of an ordeal during a gruelling end to the season, it seems that Slaven Bilic and co have now turned their attention to sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Matheus Pereira is set to sign permanently from Sporting Lisbon after producing more assists in the Championship (16) than anyone else in 2019/20.
West Brom would also love to bring Grady Diangana and Callum Robinson back to The Hawthorns after exceptional loan spells, while Semi Ajayi, Kamil Grosicki and Romaine Sawyers deserve a chance to prove themselves in the top flight.
According to the Telegraph, however, there are five players who will be cut adrift as the Midland giants prepare for life back in the elite.
Former England international Gibbs is up for sale, three years after he swapped Arsenal for West Brom.
Record-signing Burke, meanwhile, also has no future at the club after loan spells at Celtic and Alaves, while £8 million striker Zohore has done absolutely nothing to justify his monstrous price-tag.
The former Cardiff City frontman scored just three goals and managed a grand total of five starts last season.
Interestingly, the Telegraph adds that West Brom will listen to offers for academy graduates Jonathan Leko and Sam Field, two players who promised so much but have delivered very little since bursting onto the scene under Tony Pulis.
“Technically, he’s as good and as gifted as any footballer I’ve seen at that age. (He will be a) fantastic player for the club,” Pulis told the BBC in 2017, via the Birmingham Mail.
