A look at the valuations of some of the Baggies' key players
West Brom will once again be aiming to win promotion from the Championship back to the Premier League this season.
The Baggies missed out via the play-offs last season, but once more find themselves in the mix to claim a top-six spot in the early stages of the current campaign.
There are several individuals who could play key roles in that success, two of which are Alex Mowatt and Tom Fellows, with both standing out with their performances this season.
Meanwhile, the eventual return of Daryl Dike later this season, could prove vital for West Brom as well, given the goals he can provide them with in attack.
But just how much are those players potentially worth to Carlos Corberan's side in the transfer market?
Here, we've taken a look at Estimated Transfer Value of those three West Brom players according to Football Transfers, in order to find out.
Currently, of these three players, it is Daryl Dike who has the lowest ETV for the Baggies according to these numbers.
It has been a hugely frustrating time for the striker since he made the move to The Hawthorns from Orlando City back in January 2022, on a contract until the summer of 2026.
He has already suffered two serious injuries during his time with West Brom, the second of which he is still recovering from.
As a result, the Baggies have yet to fully benefit from his goalscoring abilities, and it may be some time yet before that changes, after it was recently reported he has suffered another setback.
Given those ongoing and long-running issues around his fitness, it is maybe understandable he has a lower ETV, which is now rated at €1.8million (£1.5million).
While Dike has the lowest ETV of these three players, it is Mowatt who sits above Fellows at the top of this list.
The midfielder has enjoyed a remarkable turnaround in his West Brom career in recent times, after being loaned out to Middlesbrough for the 2022/23 season.
Mowatt has become a key figure for Carlos Corberan's side since returning in the summer of 2023, and was handed a new contract until June 2026, with a 12-month option, back in May.
As a result, the 29-year-old has an ETV of €5.5million (£4.58million), which is €1million higher than Fellows' ETV, which stands at €4.5million (£3.75million).
That is arguably somewhat surprising, given that, at 21-years-old, the winger ought to be a more long-term asset than Mowatt.
Indeed, having enjoyed a breakthrough season during the previous campaign, Fellows has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs, such as Everton, Southampton and Ipswich.
He also has a contract at The Hawthorns until the summer of 2027, putting the Baggies in a strong position to respond to any bids that come in for him in the near future.
With that in mind, it will be intriguing to see if the fees received by West Brom should they sell any of these players in the future, matches up with the current Estimated Transfer Values given here.
