On deadline day today, it appeared as though the former Chelsea player, who just joined West Brom on a free transfer last summer, would have been in for a busy conclusion to the summer transfer season.
However, Cox has brought some composure and clarity to the situation. He claims that Coventry did express interest in Swift this week, but Mark Robins’ team is unable to match West Brom’s asking price for the midfielder.
Cox also notes that Stoke City had inquired earlier in the window and that West Brom had not been in touch over Swift since earlier this week.
As reported…John Swift’s interest was reported by Coventry earlier this week, but they are unable to match Albion’s valuation. Since Tuesday, there has been no communication. It is uncertain whether any CCFC exits will aid in that. Heard earlier window inquiries from Stoke. #wba Burn sale
The summer hasn’t been great for West Brom. They haven’t made many recruits, and now that the transfer window is closing, it appears that they may sell some of their top players, including Brandon Thomas-Asante.
It is unknown what the Baggies will charge for the midfielder. However, he is an important member of the team, and his absence would have left the West Brom midfield lacking in creativity.
