SportsWest Brom source reveals interest in goalscorer dubbed 'perfect' for the Championship
West Brom are interested in signing Watford forward Andre Gray this summer, according to a recent report from Football Insider.
The lowdown
Gray has been with the Hornets since 2017, having arrived at Vicarage Road from Burnley.
The forward has found regular game time hard to come by in recent seasons though, making 30 appearances for Xisco Munoz’s side in the 2020/21 season.
Gray has one year remaining on his current deal with Watford, although it remains to be seen as to whether he’ll see out that contract with the Hornets, who are preparing for life back in the Premier League and may not seem him as up to the required standard.
The latest
The Baggies have reportedly registered their interest in signing Gray this summer, with Football Insider’s Hawthorns source claiming that Watford have given the ‘green light’ for the former Burnley striker to depart before the summer transfer window closes.
That report claims that West Brom are keen on either a loan or permanent deal to sign the 30-year-old.
The verdict
Gray could be worth a punt for West Brom this summer, as they look to find a striker who can fire them back into the Premier League this term.
Valerien Ismael already has some strong options available to him in Karlan Grant and Kenneth Zohore, but additional strength in depth could be ideal for the newly-appointed West Brom boss.
Gray has shown that he can score goals in the Championship in the past as well, having played for both Burnley and Brentford at that level, netting 25 goals in 44 appearances as the Clarets won promotion into the Premier League in the 2015/16 season.
Gray had previously been linked with a move to Leeds United, and in an interview with Football Insider discussing those links, pundit and former goalscorer Darren Bent felt as though Gray is a ‘perfect signing’ in the second tier with ‘proven pedigree’ at that level.
