West Brom: Choudhury can be next Mulumbu

West Brom have been closely linked with signing Leicester Metropolis midfielder Hamza Choudhury just lately and the Englishman may very well be the Baggies’ subsequent Youssouf Mulumbu in Steve Bruce’s aspect.

Reports have instructed that the 24-year-old is a mortgage goal for the previous Newcastle United boss this summer season, though he should play a ready recreation earlier than signing him, as it can depend upon Leicester Metropolis’s personal switch enterprise this summer season.

Brendan Rodgers isn’t presently wanting midfield choices on the King Energy Stadium though each Youri Tielemans and Boubakary Soumare might depart forward of subsequent season, which could encourage the previous Liverpool boss to maintain Choudhury on the membership as a back-up.

The Leicester academy graduate has by no means been capable of set up himself as an everyday within the Foxes’ first group, making simply 83 appearances for the senior aspect in his profession up to now.

Final season noticed the midfielder handle simply six appearances within the Premier League so it appears unlikely that he’ll be capable of set up himself as an everyday with the Foxes subsequent season, and West Brom may very well be the beneficiaries by signing him on mortgage.

His contract with Leicester can be set to run out on the finish of the season, so the mortgage may be with the view to bringing him in on a everlasting deal, which might probably be glorious enterprise for the Baggies.

Ought to West Brom signal Choudhury?

WhoScored means that Choudhury’s predominant strengths are his interceptions and talent to dam the ball, which can remind West Brom followers of fellow defensive-midfielder Mulumbu, who starred for the Baggies between 2009 and 2015.

The DR Congo worldwide would make 211 appearances, contributing 14 goals and 11 assists, in what was undoubtedly the perfect spell of his profession.

Rodgers was stuffed with reward for Choudhury final season after his efficiency in a FA Cup win towards Watford, saying:

“I believed he was sensational within the recreation. Generally it occurs like that for a midfield participant stepping again. He was defensively fast, making interceptions and blocks, his restoration velocity was unimaginable and that’s why you all the time have fast gamers, particularly how we play, squeezing the pitch. His passing was glorious in the primary as effectively, so I’m delighted for him.”

If Choudhury can produce performances like that frequently for West Brom subsequent season, then he would certainly be a high quality addition to Bruce’s aspect, and he might even be regarded in the identical ilk as Mulumbu by Baggies followers.
