I Love West Brom

English Championship club West Bromwich Albion are looking to bolster their squad as they look to mark a return to English top flight football. They have started making plans and identifying players they want to sign this summer and they are progressing remarkably. The Baggies are among a host of clubs that are showing keen interest in Luton Town defender Kal Naismith, according to reports from Football League World.

Reading have been handed a double boost on the injury front ahead of their English Championship clash with West Brom this weekend. The Royals would be the guests of West Brom at the Hawthorns on Saturday and they have received a positive injury news on two of their players in time for the West Brom game.
