Carlos Corberan: Star deal shows West Brom moving in right direction
Albion boss Carlos Corberan insists Mikey Johnston’s return on a permanent deal demonstrates the “positive” direction the club are heading in.

West Bromwich Albion’s Mikey Johnston celebrates
Winger Johnston rejoined from Celtic for a reported £3million on a four-year deal last month, after enjoying a stellar loan stint at the Hawthorns during the second half of last season.

He scored seven times and set-up one more in 20 appearances to help propel the Baggies into the Championship play-offs.

Corberan noted that the fee recouped from Brandon Thomas-Asante’s switch to Championship rivals Coventry City ultimately funded Johnston’s return, but he was pleased to be supported by the board in his quest to bring the Republic of Ireland international back to the club.

West Bromwich Albion had to fend off late interest in the transfer window for Tom Fellows, with the 21-year-old already proving he is a Premier League player in the making.

The likes of Southampton and Ipswich Town were both said to want the wide man last month, while a report from Football Insider also claimed that Everton were interested in the star.

While the Baggies held firm in their ‘not for sale’ stance until the end of August, they will know full well that there will be plenty more interest the minute the transfer window reopens in January.

But with the academy star already proving to have a massive influence on Albion’s attacking output, they will be expecting to make a pretty penny should they be tempted to sell him in the future.

The Baggies staunchly fought off any approaches from top flight outfits for their star man over the summer, with the club reportedly putting a £15 million price tag on the forward’s head.

As a result, they were able to keep Fellows for the season ahead, with Southampton said to have made a bid in the region of £10 million, which the Black Country outfit rightfully dismissed.
