West Brom and Leicester City target in talks with MLS club
West Brom and Leicester City target Harry Toffolo has held talks with Charlotte FC, according to reporter Alan Nixon on his Patreon page.
West Brom have been linked with the defender this summer, as per EFL Analysis. WBA aren’t the only team to have been mentioned as potential suitors, with Nixon previously claiming on his Patreon that Leicester City are keen.
Toffolo, 29, is a free agent this summer following his exit from Nottingham Forest. He has been weighing up his options recently.
In this latest update, journalist Nixon has reported on Patreon that he has held discussions with Charlotte FC. They are managed by ex-Walsall, Brentford and Aston Villa manager Dean Smith.
After joining Nottingham Forest back in 2022, Toffolo told their website: “I’m extremely delighted to be here, to be able to join a football club with this much stature is fantastic and to have the opportunity to play in the Premier League is something I couldn’t turn down.
“I’m excited, really looking forward to meeting the lads and we want to push forward in this division. We’ll push each other every day and we’ve got a fantastic squad being put together. I’m a player who wears his heart on his sleeve and I’m someone that will fight for the badge and for the team every single minute.”
Update on West Brom target Harry Toffolo
West Brom could see Toffolo as someone to boost their defensive department. If he joined them, he would give WBA more competition and depth at the back.
The left-back signed for Nottingham Forest three years ago after their promotion to the top flight under their former manager Steve Cooper. He went on to make 57 appearances for the Reds in all competitions.
He found game time hard to come by in the last campaign under Nuno Espirito Santo, hence his recent exit. The ex-England youth international will now be considering his options and is wanted at the King Power Stadium.
