Headline24jam.com – West Bromwich Albion defender Alex Williams has emerged as a late target for Scottish club Falkirk as the transfer deadline approaches. The window closes tonight at 7 PM, leaving EFL teams with limited time to finalize any player movements.
Transfer Deadline Looms
West Brom has been active in the closing stages of the transfer window, with at least one new signing expected before the deadline. Aston Villa’s Samuel Iling-Junior is set to undergo a medical today ahead of a loan move to The Hawthorns.
Falkirk’s Interest in Williams
The 20-year-old right-back, Williams, is being considered by Falkirk for a temporary move. According to Alan Nixon, West Brom manager Ryan Mason faces a "tricky" decision regarding this potential loan.
Williams, who has represented Wales at the under-21 level, has previously only been loaned to Stratford Town. In his brief tenure with West Brom, he has made two first-team appearances this season.
Tough Decision for West Brom
Given the departure of first-choice right-back Darnell Furlong, who has been replaced by Chelsea’s Alfie Gilchrist for £2 million, West Brom’s defensive options are limited. While George Campbell played on the right against Stoke, he is not a natural fit for that position.
This situation leaves Williams as one of the few genuine right-back options at the club. If West Brom opts to loan him out, they risk depleting their defensive capabilities, especially if they cannot secure a replacement in time.
Should West Brom allow this loan to go through, it could put them in a challenging position, as they must assess their current squad depth and potential needs moving forward.
