According to many reports, West Brom has turned down offers for Tom Fellows from two Premier League teams.
The Tractor Boys reportedly made an offer of £11 million plus add-ons, but Baggies transfer insider DOOD (EyaWeGew) claimed that bid was turned down. After seeing him play last season, Crystal Palace is rumored to be interested in the player.
The announcement of a bid rejection follows BBC West Midlands’ story about Southampton’s £10 million offer being rejected. Fellows has had a strong start to the season and is under contract with West Brom for the long run. WBA is reportedly prepared for late transfer interest but has no plans to sell him, according to The Express & Star.
The 21-year-old has three years remaining on his contract that he only signed in January at the Hawthorns. In the victories over QPR and Stoke City, he set up goals for Josh Maja and Karlan Grant with three assists in as many games for WBA. He has started all three of the team’s league games.
McKenna told the BBC, “The focus is on Ali being with us at the moment.”
West Brom and Ipswich Town may yet transact before Friday’s transfer deadline. On Monday, DOOD announced that Ipswich had been contacted regarding a loan-only option for striker Ali Al-Hamadi.
Al-Hamadi has started the first two games for Ipswich, coming off the bench against Man City and Liverpool. Although he is scheduled to debut in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night against AFC Wimbledon, Kieran McKenna hasn’t fully ruled out moving away from Suffolk.
McKenna told the BBC, “The focus is on Ali being with us at the moment.”
“Having an effect on each and every game and session. By no means are we long in that position right now.
“There’s always the possibility that things can change in the next 72 hours but at the moment ours and his focus is getting him ready for the next game.”
