West Bromwich Albion set to seal double Premier League swoop following Barney Stewart arrival

West Bromwich Albion are on the verge of capturing two of their major summer transfer targets having already sealed a seven-figure deal for Falkirk hot-shot Barney Stewart.

Championship

The 22-year-old striker put pen-to-paper on a long-term deal in the West Midlands on Wednesday after the two clubs finally reached an agreement after weeks of dialogue.

It's believed the second-tier side will pay an initial £1.3 million to the Scottish Premiership side with significant player and club performance-based add-ons included within the structure of the deal.

Baggies boss James Morrison is revamping his first-team squad after guiding them to Championship safety last term, and is understood to be on the verge of adding two more new faces to his group in the coming days.

Chelsea attacker Jimmy Jay-Morgan has agreed terms on a permanent switch on the back of an impressive season-long loan with League One outfit Peterborough United.

The 20-year-old notched 14 goals in all competitions in what was an impressive breakthrough campaign last season, and will now look to replicate that form in the second-tier with West Brom having agreed a £4 million package with the Londoners.

Meanwhile, Liverpool defender Carter Pinnington is also set to join the Baggies despite the powerful centre back being offered a long-term contract at Anfield.

The club are eager to dip their toes into the transfer market early in a bid to bolster Morrison's first-team squad ahead of the start of pre-season a week on Monday.

Albion are also hoping to tie Karlan Grant and Josh Maja down to new terms too, with the striking pair both set to see their existing deals expire on July 1.

Long-serving Jed Wallace and Daryl Dike have both been released however, along with goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith who spent the second half of the 2025/26 campaign on loan at Middlesbrough.

West Brom, along with the other 23 clubs in the Championship, will find out their 2026/27 schedule a week today (Thursday June 25) on the EFL's fixture release day.
