West Brom reportedly re-ignite interest in 67 goal striker ahead of busy summer window
Now Ryan Mason is in the building at West Brom – there is a wait to see who is first signing may be.
And according to the latest reports, it could well be a striker who has been prolific in the Scottish Premier League in recent seasons.
Lawrence Shankland has long been linked with a move away from Hearts, due to his scoring record for the Tynecastle club.
And now, according to multiple reports in the Scottish press, the forward could well be on the move with West Brom reportedly in the queue to sign the forward.
They decided against stumping up the cash back then, but this summer Shankland is out of contract, with Hearts, now with former Baggie Derek McInnes at the helm, trying to persuade their star forward to stay at the club.
According to the Scottish Sun, Albion have made the interest in Shankland known to the player’s representatives about coming to The Hawthorns, with the player weighing up his options.
Elsewhere, it has also been claimed that Southampton are also monitoring his situation.
‘Wolves helped shape my entire life’: The MLS forward on his Wolves experience and big future dreams
For Theo Corbeanu, the story so far has been one of many chapters. Not to mention many journeys.
At 23, he has already encountered numerous challenges in pursuit of his dream of being a professional footballer. Challenges which have continued to shape both his ability and personality.
That included five-and-a-half years spent on the books at Wolves, which began with a scholarship in the Academy, and progressed to the first team set-up, and a treasured Premier League debut away at Tottenham – Harry Kane, Gareth Bale, Son Heung-Min and all.
As a result of several loan spells during his career, particularly while at Wolves, he has already represented eight clubs at senior level. Despite still being in his early twenties. But hopefully, and most importantly, with plenty more appearances to come.
But those memories of Wolves, whom he left permanently for Granada in La Liga in January of last year, are still easily recalled.
“Ah that accent,” he says at the start of the conversation, in advance of Toronto taking on Dean Smith’s Charlotte FC last weekend.
“It’s been a while since I heard one of those.”
