Bundesliga duo join Championship rivals in race for out-of-contract West Brom gem

West Brom youngster Tom Fellows is set to be out of contract in June with several clubs circling including a Bundesliga duo.

20-year-old Tom Fellows is set to leave West Brom for free at the end of this season, but he might be lured away prior to that.

The midfielder has made six Championship cameo appearances this season to date already, which should be an indicator of how highly Carlos Corberan thinks of him.

The youngster is believed to be a target for several Championship sides, while the Baggies remain keen on tying him down to a new deal.

It could be difficult to do that though given a report which suggests interest has now spiked from the Bundesliga.

German duo now keen on Fellows

According to a report from Football Insider, Fellows has drawn interest from both Werder Bremen and Augsburg in the Bundesliga.

Given these two sides are foreign, they could be about to start talks in January over a pre-contract which is a threat English sides didn’t pose.

Fellows has been in and around the first team for a few seasons now but has failed to really establish himself as a regular in the squad until now at 20.

This could leave him keen on a new challenge, particularly if suitors are planning on offering him regular senior minutes, it would be difficult for him to say no.

While Albion do remain keen on renewing his contract and is a player many at the club are clearly excited by, it is unlikely he will be allowed to depart without a fight being put up by The Hawthorns side.
