Stoke City’s initial bid for emerging talent Brandon Thomas-Asante has been firmly rejected by West Bromwich Albion.
Nevertheless, the rejection hasn’t discouraged Stoke City, as sources indicate they are considering the possibility of submitting a revised offer to secure the promising young player.
This ongoing situation highlights a growing divide between the two clubs. Reports suggest that West Brom is discontented with the initial bid’s valuation of Thomas-Asante, deeming it to significantly underestimate the potential that the player holds.
This impasse has not gone unnoticed by other observant clubs, many of which are closely monitoring the proceedings and are ready to capitalize on any unfolding developments.
Brandon Thomas-Asante, who joined EFL Championship club West Bromwich Albion on a three-year contract for a fee believed to be around £300,000 in August 2022, had previously turned down a move to Birmingham City.
In September 2022, Thomas-Asante marked his debut and netted his first goal, a dramatic 98th-minute equalizer for West Brom in a 1-1 home draw against Burnley.
In the current season, he has participated in three matches and scored two goals in the Championship.
