West Bromwich Albion has reached an agreement to transfer one of their attackers to Wrexham, finalizing a deal that is almost complete. According to sources at Talk WBA on X, Wrexham is on the verge of securing the permanent signing of West Brom’s Mo Faal on the deadline day. The striker successfully underwent a medical examination in Wales, paving the way for the imminent announcement from both clubs. The transfer saga saw Faal passing his medical tests following negotiations between West Brom, Wrexham, and the player. Reports from fellow Albion specialists, West Brom Xtra, suggest that the agreed fee falls within the range of £250,000-£300,000, marking a significant achievement given Faal’s limited senior appearances for the club. Additionally, there are hints of a 20% sell-on clause being included in the deal to potentially yield added revenue in the future.

Mo Faal, a talent hailing from The Gambia, displayed impressive form during loan spells in League Two last season, showcasing his scoring prowess with a total of 13 goals across 45 league matches at Doncaster Rovers and Walsall. His brief stint at AFC Fylde in the National League saw him netting 10 goals in just 16 games. Now, the young prospect from Albion’s academy is poised to make the jump from the lower tiers to regular football in England’s League One. Meanwhile, Wrexham, riding a wave of early-season success following promotion, is eager to maintain their upward trajectory under the management of Phil Parkinson, currently just two points shy of the coveted top spot.

Despite facing stiff competition from established forwards like Paul Mullin, Ollie Palmer, Jack Marriott, and Steven Fletcher at Wrexham, Faal’s towering 6ft 4in frame promises to offer the Red Dragons a new attacking dimension, potentially earning him valuable playing time.
