Back around Christmas time last year, we covered interest from quite a few Premier League clubs (on our lovely old website) in Angers defender Romain Thomas, but nothing came of it.
Eventually finishing ninth after a very strong start, the minnows have now suffered three defeats in their first three league games of the new season, and a repeat of last season already seems like a difficult mission.
Sky Sports reported on Wednesday that West Brom were interested in the 28-year-old French defender, and Sport Witness have had it confirmed from a source close to the deal that both teams are currently in negotiations over a transfer, with an outcome (either way) hopefully expected in the next few of hours.
Deadline day transfers happen very quickly, with a lot to be done in a small amount of time, and even the slightest hiccup in negotiations can cause a transfer to collapse rapidly, so anything can happen in that time.
We’ll keep you up to date if we find anything else out in the coming hours.
