West Bromwich Albion‘s signing of Karlan Grant has became a catastrophe, as his market worth has plummeted throughout his spell on the Hawthorns.

The striker would be a part of the Baggies from Huddersfield City in 2020, becoming a member of for a price of round £15m after hitting 23 objectives in simply 57 appearances for the Yorkshire facet.

Nonetheless, he has sadly by no means been in a position to replicate that goalscoring type with the Midlands facet and a January exit may properly be on the playing cards for the 25-year-old, who has misplaced his beginning spot underneath new supervisor Carlos Corberan.

This season has seen Grant handle simply three objectives in 19 Championship appearances for West Brom, with WhoScored awarding him a median score of 6.30, which ranks him because the second-worst participant to characteristic at the least 10 occasions within the Championship to this point this marketing campaign.

The previous Charlton Athletic man is definitely not well-liked amongst followers both, with many turning in opposition to the striker after he missed a stunning penalty in a defeat in opposition to Swansea earlier this season.

Journalist Chris Lepkowski said: “A lot as Bruce takes the warmth – rightly so, too – what the hell is Grant doing with a penalty like that? 2-2; probability to arrest a poor run and he goes all Panenka on us. It’s simply totally unprofessional.”

It’s no shock, due to this fact, that his valuation has dropped like a stone in his time on the Hawthorns, with Transfermarkt now valuing the striker at simply £5.3m, which represents a 65% lower from the £15m West Brom paid simply two years in the past.

West Brom have seemed fully revitalised underneath Corberan, profitable all six of their Championship video games underneath the previous Huddersfield boss, and it’s a testomony that Grant has started simply a kind of, with transient cameos from the bench in one other two.

Sadly for the Baggies, the underwhelming striker is contracted on the Hawthorns till 2026, which means that the Baggies must discover a purchaser quickly in the event that they wish to transfer him on whereas he nonetheless retains some worth.

It does appear clear that, each time Grant does depart West Brom, the membership will make a major loss on his switch, so his signing should go down as a catastrophe.
