# West Brom: Baggies eye Japhet Tanganga

**[As per The Express and Star](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/west-bromwich-albion/2021/01/31/west-brom-want-two-more-signings/), West Bromwich Albion are interested in signing Tottenham’s Japhet Tanganga on loan until the end of the season.**

### **Baggies eye Tanganga**

Tanganga is yet to make an appearance in the Premier League so far this campaign ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/japhet-tanganga/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/346478)), and could therefore be allowed to leave the club on a temporary basis as he looks to receive more playing time.

As Sam Allardyce continues to rush towards the end of the window, the Baggies have shown an interest in the £7.2m-valued 21-year-old ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/japhet-tanganga/marktwertverlauf/spieler/346478)).

### **Versatile signing**

Compared to Aston Villa legend Paul McGrath after impressing during Spurs’ 1-0 defeat to Liverpool last year by Tony Cascarino ([talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/654351/tottenham-japhet-tanganga-manchester-united-debut-liverpool/)), Tanganga can play both at full-back and at centre-back – versatility that Allardyce could put to good use.

The England U20 international will be thrown into a different atmosphere than the one he is used to at Tottenham as the Baggies battle against relegation. If he completes a move, Jose Mourinho will surely have an eye on him to see how he copes.
