West Brom's Brandon Thomas-Asante set for Coventry after Hull u-turn in one of three Baggies exits

The former Salford frontman was set to join the Tigers but it is Mark Robins' Coventry who will be his destination after a late move in a fee understood to be between £2million-£3million.

It is a late u-turn for Albion's Ghana international who as of Tuesday was set for the MKM Stadium, but Coventry have been long-term admirers and trumped the Tigers for the striker, who netted 12 times for the Baggies last term.

It is believed the offer received from Coventry was a better package for the centre-forward.

Thomas-Asante was in the final year of his Albion contract and, as in all cases, the club looked at offers received for those who could leave on a free next summer. The Baggies are continuing to recover from a perilous financial situation prior to Shilen Patel's takeover earlier in 2024.

Thomas-Asante was offered a new deal at The Hawthorns last summer but the terms were turned down. Had he agreed a fresh, increased wage and extension in what was viewed a good offer by Albion, then the club would have been in a stronger position to demand a higher fee this summer. Stoke were interested 12 months ago.

The 25-year-old, who checked in from fourth-tier Salford for just £300,000 less than two years ago, follows midfielder Okay Yokuslu, 30, and left-back Conor Townsend, 31, out of The Hawthorns exit door.

Yokuslu's return to Trabzonspor on a three-year deal in his homeland for a fee thought to be £1.5m is set to be confirmed.

Long-serving full-back Townsend is making the move to Premier League new-boys Ipswich Town.

In the other direction, the Baggies are poised to complete the free transfer signing of 29-year-old striker Devante Cole, who last season scored 18 league goals for League One outfit Barnsley.
