West Bromwich Albion have been linked with a move for Blackpool striker Jerry Yates, as reported by The72.
Enjoying a fantastic 2020/21 season, the 24-year-old played a major role in the Seasiders’ successful Sky Bet League One promotion bid as he registered 32 goal contributions from 54 games in all competitions; 23 goals and nine assists [Transfermarkt].
Bristol City, Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest are all also said to be keen on the striker, who could be available for around £5million to potential suitors [The Sun].

Yates has averaged around 1.9 shots per every 90 minutes across the last year, demonstrating his willingness to regularly propel himself to the forefront of attacking play [WhoScored].
Still manager-less after the departure of Sam Allardyce from the Hawthorns last month and lacking direction as a club [BBC], there is little surprise loads of Baggies fans took to Twitter to share their concern at these latest developments.
