Tom Fellows makes ‘tough’ West Brom admission following Ipswich Town and Southampton links.
Tom Fellows is fully committed to the project at West Bromwich Albion despite transfer interest from the Premier League.
West Brom’s wonderkid winger was the subject of failed bids from both Southampton and Ipswich Town in the summer and clubs from the top tier are still watching his progress.
Albion have been determined to keep their man, however, and rejected approaches in late August worth in the region of £10 million and £11 million. It’s turned out to be a great decision as Fellows has started the new season superbly, registering four assists in six Championship starts.
Fellows, who recently scored his first competitive goal for the England under-21 team, is delighted with the progress being made at West Brom. The academy product has hailed manager Carlos Corberan’s impact and been very honest about the club’s promotion hopes.
“He [Corberan] gave me my opportunity so obviously I’m really thankful for the chance to play and to prove I can perform at this level,” Fellows told Sky Sports
“He has helped me a lot. It’s a lot of detail and a lot of stuff to take in, but you get used to it after a little bit. It’s like, if you didn’t have that sort of detail, it would be more difficult, you know. It is why the team are playing so well now.
“The Championship is so tough and doesn’t even really get going until probably around Christmas sometimes, but you’ve got to be in amongst it to have a chance. It’s been a really good start but we know we’ve still got a long, long way to go. Hopefully we can keep going.
“After coming so close last season, it definitely fuels you a bit to want to go that one step further. To get there at the club I’ve grown up in would really feel like the biggest achievement possible,” Fellows continued.
