West Brom are ‘very unlikely’ to acquire a free agency striker following the injury to Josh Maja.
According to BirminghamLive, West Brom are “highly unlikely” to join the free agency market for a new striker after Josh Maja was ruled out for two months with an ankle injury.
The news agency reports on their official website (19 September) that the club’s present financial predicament implies a move for a free agent is unlikely.
Maja will not play again until after the November international break, while Daryl Dike will not return until 2024 due to a broken Achilles, leaving Brandon Thomas-Asante as the sole natural striker option in the team.
“Of course, it’s a blow to Carlos Corberan, who has already been managing Albion without being able to call on Daryl Dike, who is out until December at the earliest, and having sanctioned loan moves for young pair Jovan Malcolm and Mo Faal over the course of the summer transfer window in order to increase their first-team minutes elsewhere,” they wrote.
“A move for a free agent is also thought to be highly unlikely, given Albion’s financial situation.”
It comes as no surprise that the club lacks the funds to recruit a free agent to replace Maja; otherwise, we would have signed one when Corberan stated his need for a third striker option.
We now have only one striker for the remaining ten Championship games, and the manager stated clearly in his news conference that they would have to hunt for options within the group.

The season hasn’t gotten off to the greatest or worst start possible, but a lack of goals is an obvious concern that will only be worsened in the coming weeks by a lack of choices if things go wrong.
Hopefully, Corberan can maintain the defense solid and find a method to solve this problem without entering the transfer market, because the money to do so is just not there.
