Brandon Thomas-Asante excited by West Brom young guns
Brandon Thomas-Asante insists Albion fans should be excited about the string of young players looking to break into the first team – and believes they could be like new signings.
Carlos Corberan has handed chances to a handful of Baggies’ academy graduates in their pre-season games so far this summer. Caleb Taylor, Tom Fellows, Mo Faal, Jovan Malcolm, Ethan Ingram, Jamie Andrews and Harry Whitwell have all played in Albion’s outings so far, with Zac Ashworth, who played in behind closed doors friendlies, heading out on loan to Bolton.
Other younger Albion players have also played minor roles And Thomas-Asante believes fans can be excited about some of the talents who could potentially burst into the first team fold this season.
“If I was them I would be excited,” said the striker. “As a young player you hope you’re in a squad where there is potential opportunities to burst through, and the young boys have all done well.
“Caleb had an amazing loan at Cheltenham, and I’ve got friends there who spoke highly of him. I’d heard about how good he was and he is a unit.
