There is much left to do, certainly when it comes to recruitment, for Carlos Corberan this summer, but these early weeks of training are crucial nonetheless.

There is much left to do, certainly when it comes to recruitment, for Carlos Corberan this summer, but these early weeks of training are crucial nonetheless.

We’ve had a look at the talking points around some members of Albion’s squad this summer.

Rather of being a starter more often, Ajayi has been a squad player for the past two seasons. This year, he turns 31, and he is in the last year of his contract.

We’ve seen enough of the Nigerian international to know he’s still very capable at this level. Cedric Kipre is gone, but Torbjorn Heggem is due in.

Can former Rotherham man Ajayi force a more regular spot in Corberan’s side this term? There may be a space, but the head coach may still favour further depth in that role.

Jayson Molumby

Almost the forgotten man after spending the second half of last season injured, Molumby was billed a key player this time 12 months ago.
