3 Tom Fellows replacements West Brom must consider if Everton strike January deal
Tom Fellows was linked with a January move to Everton over the weekend, something which may force West Brom’s hand into dipping into the transfer market for a replacement.
West Brom will be keen to keep hold of their prized asset as they bid to get back into the Premier League, but with several other top-flight suitors circling and monitoring the situation, it only seems a matter of time before he departs The Hawthorns.
Fortunately for the Baggies, Fellows remains under contract until the summer of 2027, so if he is to depart in January, then he will at least command a hefty fee.
That still leaves West Brom with the issue of finding someone to replace him, but if they were to have a healthy war chest, that would at least make the task a little easier.
Three names stick out as players who could come in and carry out the difficult task of replacing the high-flying winger.
Godo is currently playing for Fulham’s U21s in Premier League 2, which is something of a surprise after he had a highly-impressive loan spell at Wigan Athletic last season.
The Latics would undoubtedly have loved to have him back, but amid Championship interest in the summer, their chances of bringing him back to the Brick Community Stadium were always like to be slim.
Godo signed a new Fulham deal running through to the summer of 2028 in September, but with first team opportunities always likely to be limited at Craven Cottage, a move to the Midlands could be beneficial.
After signing a new deal, a loan move would seem more likely, but after being kept at the club in summer and then never really being given a chance to make an impact, Godo could perhaps see that his career lies elsewhere.
A tricky winger who likes to play off the left, he would be close to a like-for-like replacement for Fellows.
