Report: West Brom could sign Martin Cranie on free transfer

West Brom tried to sign a right-back before Thursday’s transfer deadline day with the club making a strong effort to lure James Tavernier from Glasgow Rangers.

The Baggies, who will play in the Championship this season following their relegation from the Premier League, saw a £3 million bid rejected, as reported by TEAMtalk, for the Rangers skipper.

Signing a right-back is a priority for Darren Moore after a deal for Yeovil Town’s Tom James fell through last week. However, EFL clubs can still sign players on loan and free agents, and West Brom could be looking to scout that market to provide competition for the injured Allan Nyom.
