West Bromwich Albion fans will have breathed a major sigh of relief when talk this off-season surrounding Carlos Corberan’s future in the dug-out died down, with the likes of Leicester City sniffing around at one point for the popular Spaniard’s services.
The Baggies boss has turned around the fortunes of the West Midlands club over the past couple of campaigns, from looking worryingly over their shoulder at the relegation spaces in the Championship under the dismal tenure of Steve Bruce, to the brink of a play-off final with the ex-Huddersfield Town man’s expertise at the helm.
West Brom will be dreaming about an unbelievable Premier League return this season to come, with the 41-year-old manager well aware he can rely on a number of seasoned individuals in his camp to deliver the goods in the second tier again, such as the experienced heads of Kyle Bartley and Alex Mowatt.
He might not be able to keep a firm grip on Okay Yokuslu ahead of another promotion attempt, however, with many a suitor trying to tempt the Turkish midfielder away from the Hawthorns this summer, which would definitely weaken the Baggies in the centre of the park in the process.
Okay Yokuslu’s situation at West Brom
Corberan and Co could be looking to cash in whilst they can for their 30-year-old enforcer, with his contract expiring next year, and fervent interest certainly there.
Both Besiktas and Trabzonspor were noted as being interested parties from his native Turkey, but further developments now suggest that the first named suitor has dropped out of the race to snap up Yokuslu, who has only attracted himself onto more shopping lists after a bright time out at the Euros with his nation.
Hull City could stand more of a chance at swooping in and landing the in-demand West Brom number 35 now, though, with limited competition now to fend off, with Hull vice-chairman Tan Kesler even admitting that Yokuslu is on their transfer target list recently.
Yokuslu’s time at West Brom
West Brom must be thanking their lucky stars that they gambled on picking up Yokuslu on a free transfer when they did, bringing him in on a permanent basis in 2022, before he went on to become a dependable first-team head.
Still, if West Brom can manage to gain £5m back by selling on the ageing midfielder this summer, all sentimentality surrounding how much his presence is adored at the Hawthorns will surely go out the window.
