West Brom Submitting New Will Keane Bid – Sources, Brown Are Serious For The Deal
West Brom are ready to table a new bid to sign Preston North End striker Will Keane before the 30 August transfer deadline, sources have told Football Insider.
The Championship side’s improved bid will be worth £500,000 after their initial offer was rejected.
Carlos Corberan is keen to add his attacking options after forward Brandon Thomas-Asante joined Coventry City in a £2million deal earlier this month.
Keane has started in three of Preston’s four games this season and scored the winning goal in their 1-0 victory over Luton Town on Saturday.
The 31-year-old’s contract at Deepdale is set to expire in June 2025 as West Brom look to strike a deal for his services.
West Brom looking to add experience to attacking options
Keane started his career with Manchester United, but he made just three first-team appearances for the club.
After undertaking several loan spells during his time at Old Trafford, the Republic of Ireland international joined Hull City in 2016 and spent three years with the Yorkshire side.
Keane’s most fruitful spell came at Wigan Athletic, where he scored 50 goals and laid on 15 assists in 133 appearances for the club.
The Stockport-born man joined Preston on a two-year deal last summer and has featured heavily since he arrived at Deepdale.
The forward scored 13 goals and laid on three assists in his 34 starts last season, while he’s registered one strike in the opening three games of this campaign.
West Brom are now ready to test Preston’s resolve with a new offer as they look to add some more experience to their attacking options.
Corberan’s side currently sit fourth in the Championship table after goals from Karlan Grant and Josh Maja sealed a 2-1 victory over Stoke City on Saturday.
