Former West Brom star spoke about Grant’s future

Former West Bromwich Albion midfielder Carlton Palmer believes Carlan Grant is likely to return to the Hawthorns and Carlos Corberan’s side.

The winger has been a regular for Cardiff on the left wing under Errol Bulut but has recently received no contact from his parent club after moving to the Welsh capital on loan this summer.

Corberan recently said he would take stock at the end of the season and assess Grant’s performance and progress, but Palmer believes there is every chance that, with greater investment in the Baggies, the Midlands club will welcome him back and spend money on which means high championship salaries.

“Corberán said that Carlan Grant, who left West Brom on loan at Cardiff in the summer, could return at some point,” said Palmer. “I think a lot of people were surprised when Karlan went out on loan in the summer, but I think it was more to do with his wages and the cost-cutting done by West Brom than Corberan,” said Palmer, who played for West Bromwich Albion. between 1984 and 1989, the World Football League said.

“Corberán likes versatile players and Carlan was Albion’s top scorer in 2021/22 with 18 goals. He is one of those players who can play in any attacking position.

“With rumors of a takeover imminent and West Brom currently seventh in the Championship, level on points with the play-off places, if Corberan is allowed to bring in players in the January transfer window he could well bring back a starter in the championship. and you should seek only his salary, not a fee.

“Grant still has two years left on his contract unless he is called up in January, so there is a good chance he will return to his home club sooner rather than later.”
