Premier League Southampton FC are reportedly eyeing West Bromwich Albion striker Brandon Thomas-Asante.
The Saints are considering Thomas-Asante as a replacement for Che Adams, who is poised to join Torino. The 25-year-old forward has been influential at West Brom since his move from Salford in 2022, emerging as the club’s top scorer in his first two seasons.
Southampton's interest is spurred by Adams' upcoming transfer to Serie A club Torino. The Scotland international, Adams, has played 191 matches for the Saints, including 46 last season, playing a pivotal role in the club's return to the Premier League.
With Thomas-Asante’s contract at the Hawthorns set to expire next summer, this transfer window offers West Brom a chance to capitalize on his value.
While Thomas-Asante lacks Premier League experience, he has advanced from the National League, demonstrating his goal-scoring talent at every level. His ability to play in various attacking positions makes him an attractive prospect.
If Thomas-Asante moves to Southampton, he will face the challenge of meeting the club’s need for goals, a critical issue during their 2022-23 Premier League season when they scored only 36 goals, contributing to their relegation.
Thomas-Asante made his debut for Ghana in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic at the Baba Yara Stadium, a match that Ghana won 4-3. He netted 11 goals last season in the English Championship.
