Steve Bruce has been crying out for a purpose scorer, as his facet solely have 15 objectives in these video games (with 5 coming in a single match). Brandon Thomas-Asante reveals promise however remains to be uncooked, and Daryl Dike stays injured.
Has Karlan Grant been successful at West Brom?
Sure
No
That simply leaves Karlan Grant to shoulder an unbelievable burden up entrance, which he has considerably struggled with.
Nevertheless, his profession to this point on the Hawthorns needs to be seen as one thing of successful.
Signed for £15m by Slaven Bilic, he solely managed one Premier League purpose in his debut season.
The season following, nevertheless, he was in a position to actually flex his muscle tissue in entrance of purpose. He scored an astounding 18 league objectives within the Championship, proving that he has the potential to fireside them again to the top-flight ought to he be handed the service. He additionally supplied six assists that season.
He unsurprisingly was voted Gamers’ Participant of the Season for that marketing campaign, additional solidifying the significance he’ll maintain for the Baggies.
Paul Robinson had predicted that he would thrive that 12 months too, as he claimed: “This season West Brom followers will see the very best of Karlan Grant.”

With simply three league objectives this season, he has endured a gradual begin.
However together with his previous being so laden with objectives, 23 in reality for Albion, he’s positive to come back good as soon as extra in the end. When on type, there are few higher within the division who might fireplace a facet again as much as the Premier League, and we would see that “sensible participant” as soon as extra.
The £15m outlay could have been important on the time, but when in the future he does rating the objectives essential for a promotion, it would have been greater than price it. Certainly, the prize of a spot within the top-flight is price considerably greater than Grant’s switch charge.
