“West Brom hold all the cards” – Pundit issues statement surrounding Everton player pursuit
Former West Bromwich Albion player Carlton Palmer has urged the club to not sell Tom Fellows in January, amid reports that Everton are interested in him.
In their first full season of the Shilen Patel era, West Brom are striving to achieve what they failed to do last season and win promotion, and their return, to the Premier League.
They were one of the early pacesetters, rattling off five wins and a draw in their first six games. They have failed to win since then – losing twice and drawing four times – but, even with their recent struggles, they are still in a very strong position in fifth.

The performances of Fellows – their 21-year-old right-winger – in those initial matches were enough to catch the eye of one top flight team.
Everton have checked in on Fellows and sent some people to watch him while on international duty with the England under-21s, according to Alan Nixon, but any deal is dependent on the Toffees getting some more money in via a takeover before January.
