Add as preferred source on Google

Okay Yokuslu is open to returning to West Brom and playing in the Championship this season, according to Spanish outlet AS – but only on one condition.

Yokuslu was one of a number of impressive loan signings the Baggies made last season.

However, the arrivals of players such as Yokuslu, Conor Gallagher and Mbaye Diagne could not help West Brom stay in the Premier League.

Understandably, supporters were pessimistic about their chances of retaining any of those loan signings ahead of this campaign.

But it would appear that there is still a chance that Yokuslu could make a return to the Hawthorns.

According to AS, Celta Vigo are prioritising selling the 27-year-old. And West Brom are one of the sides in the mix.

Interestingly, the report claims that the Turkey international is open to playing in the Championship. But that is on the condition that he does not have better offers.

Huge coup if West Brom could bring Yokuslu back for second spell

It remains to be seen if the Baggies can win the race for Yokuslu. He has been linked with clubs such as Leeds and Crystal Palace this summer.

He has shown that he can impress in the Premier League. So it would be a massive coup for Valerien Ismael’s men to land him.

They now seemingly face a nervous wait to see if any better offers are made.

But it is fantastic news for their chances of bouncing straight back they could potentially attract a player of Yokuslu’s calibre once again.
