West Brom can sign “amazing” attackers who were better than Kelman

West Bromwich Albion’s championship season was derailed with a worryingly fast-paced final campaign.

Heading into Christmas last year, Buggy was only holding the sixth place playoff spot, but shortly after Carlos Corberan’s exit to Valencia was confirmed, West Brom’s promotion push fell off the cliff.

Their calamity on the pitch was of no use due to the situation of the strikers who lost their morale. Most of 2025 was because they had to endure without 12-goal threat Josh Maja, who led the line due to injuries.

He hopes to come back and go under the leadership of Ryan Mason, but desperately needs more strength in case Maja struggles with another end-of-season setback.

The Continuous Pursuit of Kelman in West Brom

Daryl Dyke is also prone to long-standing issues in the Hawthorns treatment room, so it’s not shocking to see West Brom trying to become more aggressive in adding stars to the often depleted central division.

Journalist Darren Whitcoop first revealed in the tail end in June that West Brom is eager to add Queens Park Rangers outcasts to their team this summer after an explosive loan stint with Richie Wellnes’ O’s.

While Orient is short on their bids to win promotion to the championship, Kelman still takes the top spot as the top scorer in the division, with 26 fatal strikes in all competitions heading his path.

However, the 23-year-old has struggled seriously in tier 2 before – there is no goal next to his name from 23 appearances in the unforgiving league – which means Mason and Co might be sought out other targets.

“Amazing” attackers more exciting than Kelman

One of the bonuses Mason dug up is his connection to the Premier League, and the 33-year-old can probably raid former club Tottenham Hotspur for some of his top young assets.

Will Lankshear is certainly one of the promising talents who can check out many of West Brom’s boxes in search of a deadly new striker, suggesting that the 20-year-old has recently had a move on the card to return to Hawthorns on a loan basis.

Of course, at the end of West Brom, there may be some hesitation, given that he had already won a Spurs senior strike, given that he had scored zero times during his short loan stint last season, and that he had given up on the Spurs’ senior strike, given that he had left these struggles.

Certainly, Rankshea was definitely pushed into the final campaign of the deep end, which was a stalemate of the high-swell West Brom problem on the pitch. An incredible goal record at the youth level in North London could possibly appear on the surface of men’s soccer.

Surprisingly, despite playing 148 games 148 less than Kelman, England’s four-inning Under-20 International only 15 goals coincides with the former Orient lender’s career goal tally, as he plays mainly Premier League two football.

Still, Kelman manages just 13 goals from a 101 collision away from his famous O spell, and the “sparkly” youth — as he was once labelled by football journalist John Wenham — could be considered a better option.

After all, the QPR reserve attacker costs a lot to win, so travelling is even more risky when evaluating his patchy score record away from East London.

Meanwhile, Rankshea will be picked up temporarily. The 20-year-old will definitely want to correct his early West Brom mistakes if he joins as a budgy gun for promotional glory.
