West Brom's smart recruitment could prove a double-edged sword, according to BBC Radio WM's Steve Hermon, who warns that the Baggies' best performers may become transfer targets for bigger clubs.
Speaking on the club's approach to transfers, Hermon praised West Brom's strategy but singled out Isaac Price as a player who could attract interest, suggesting the midfielder's development at the Hawthorns won't go unnoticed elsewhere.
While no concrete transfer interest has been confirmed, the underlying message is clear: success in the transfer market can be self-defeating for clubs like West Brom, who risk losing key talent as soon as it starts to shine. Hermon's comments point to a broader challenge facing the Championship side — building a competitive squad while knowing their sharpest assets could be prised away by wealthier suitors.
