It is no secret that West Brom have quite the impressive academy setup, but a number of its starlets have found it hard to break into the first-team over recent years.
In fact, it’s actually been regarded as one of the best in the country.
Rekeem Harper made his debut over two years ago but has made just 27 appearances since then, including a meagre six minutes this season.
Whilst the fate of some of their other promising talents was already decided before the season had begun – both Sam Field and Jonathan Leko were sent on loan to Charlton Athletic for the season.
And Kyle Edwards and Nathan Ferguson were the lucky pair trusted with a place amongst the first-team setup.
But they could well be joined by one of the Addicks’ loan duo before they know it, thanks to the cunning recall clause embedded as part of their move.
Leko has particularly performed well down at the Valley, and could certainly be in line for a return to the west Midlands come January
If Grady Diangana continues to dazzle whilst himself being on loan at West Brom, then he’s likely to return to West Ham to compete for a spot in their Premier League lineup.
He’s already earned a call-up to England’s Under-21 squad.
It would make sense for Leko to be the natural replacement should that actually happen in January.
The 20-year-old has scored one goal and laid on two assists in just 343 minutes of football, also picking up one Man of the Match award, per WhoScored.
His attacking output for Charlton has been more than reasonable, averaging 1.4 shots per game as well as 1.2 dribbles per match.
Only Diangana has registered more goals and dribbles than the young winger, which goes to show that he could easily rival his Baggies teammates if he came back.
