West Brom have launched a loan bid for Juventus midfielder,
This summer as they hunt for more signings under Carlos Corberan. They won 3-1 away at QPR on the opening day last weekend but were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Fleetwood Town last night.
Nonge, 19, has been on the books at Juventus since 2019 and they have a decision to make on what to do with him next. Prior to his switch to Italy, he rose up through the ranks at Anderlecht.
In this latest update regarding the player’s situation in this transfer window, journalist Tavolieri has claimed on X that the Baggies want to land him on a temporary basis without an option to buy. Corberan is said to have already held talks with the target.
West Brom want midfielder
West Brom have lost Okay Yokuslu to Trabzonspor recently so could see l the void left by his exit.
The teenager is under contract at Juventus until June 2026 meaning they are under no pressure to cash in on him anytime soon.
A loan move to the Hawthorns would help him get some experience under his belt and the chance to play regular football. His chances of nailing down a place in Juve’s starting XI are slim at the moment due to the abundance of options that they have at their disposal in his position.
Nonge progressed through Anderlecht’s academy before moving to Italy three years ago.
He has since made four senior appearances for Juventus in all competitions and has represented them at various different levels.
The Belgium youth international has never been loaned out though and could benefit from getting out of his comfort zone now.
What next for West Brom target?
It is yet to be known whether West Brom’s offer will be accepted or rejected.
In the meantime, they are back in action this weekend with a home clash against Leeds United as they look to make it two wins from two in the league.
They then finish August with fixtures against Stoke City and Swansea City.
Corberan’s side reached the play-offs last term but were beaten at the semi-finals stage by eventual winners Southampton over two legs.
Sunderland will not be signing Bournemouth’s Daniel Jebbison but West Brom and Portsmouth are among the clubs still on his trail, as per HITC.
The Black Cats went away to Cardiff City and won 2-0 whereas Albion secured a 3-1 victory at QPR. Pompey drew 3-3 with Leeds United and lost all three points late on, but there were big positives to take for John Mousinho and co.
All three clubs are in the market for more additions before the window ends though, with another striker a priority for Sunderland and West Brom especially. The latter have brought in Devante Cole, but despite that and the opening day hat-trick from Josh Maja, Carlos Corberan still wants more forward options.
Now, Black Cats and the Baggies are among those to have been linked with Daniel Jebbison.
Links first emerged on Monday evening from Sky Sports’ James Savundra, with Sunderland and West Brom said to have an interest.
However, new claims have followed from HITC stating that he will not be heading to the Stadium of Light. It comes after there were attempts to bring him to Wearside while at both Sheffield United and Bournemouth.
The fresh from from HITC also claims that Portsmouth, Derby County, Norwich City, Stoke City, Hull City, Stoke City have made approaches. West Brom’s interest is also mentioned, while Leeds United are also said to be keen.
The need for a striker
A striker is arguably the most difficult position to buy for in football, something that Sunderland have learnt the hard way in recent windows. And, it seems Jebbison is another name they’ll have to cross off the list.
With Luis Hemir tipped to go out on loan, the Black Cats only have Eliezer Mayenda and Nazariy Rusyn as forward options.
By comparison West Brom have four main options up top, all with plenty of experience. Karlan Grant and Daryl Dike, along with the before mentioned Maja and Cole, are all on the books, so Corberan has plenty to choose from.
Faces out the door on Wearside?
Sunderland have brought in three players this summer and have already let three leave. Jay Matete and Nathan Bishop both departed on loan while Elliot Embleton joined Blackpool on a permanent deal.
Going into the final few weeks of the window, four more names are expected to leave on loan. Hemir, Joe Anderson, Jewison Bennette and Timothée Pembélé all rumoured to leave the club.
Midfielder Pierre Ekwah has also been the subject of interest in a permanent move, but the club are not actively looking to sell the Frenchman.
