West Brom: If nothing happens, these players are going to leave The Hawthorns

FLW lists the Albion players who are out of contract at the end of the season and will depart The Hawthorns if nothing is done.
West Brom will be hopeful they can secure a return to the Premier League under Tony Mowbray.
The Baggies are competing for a fourth straight campaign in the second tier after being edged out of a play-off semi-final over two legs by Southampton last term.
Last summer, West Brom were set under an EFL-imposed business plan to avoid breaking Profit and Sustainability rules (PSR), and it is likely more high-earners will have to depart The Hawthorns in the near future for the club to become more free spending under controlling shareholder Shilen Patel.
As the end of the Championship season nears, a number of outgoings are likely to come from players whose contracts expire this summer, with Albion surely putting plans in place already for next term.
With this in mind, Football League World lists the West Brom players who are out of contract at the club and are set to move away from The Hawthorns in the summer.
First up is shot-stopper Ted Cann, who has been in the West Midlands since the age of 16 after leaving Liverpool’s youth setup.
The 24-year-old linked up with Albion back in 2017 and has developed experience with the likes of Worcester City, Yeovil Town, AFC Telford United and National League North Side Leamington in 2023.
Cann has recently linked up with National League side Forest Green for the remainder of the season to gain valuable minutes under his belt, but as he still plays understudy to the likes of Joe Wildsmith and Josh Griffiths, Cann may want to part ways with the club this summer.
Next up is Nigerian international Semi Ajayi, who has made over 150 appearances for the club in all competitions and enters his sixth season in B71.
It’s been a deeply frustrating season for the former Rotherham United defender, with two serious hamstring injuries derailing his campaign under Carlos Corberan and Tony Mowbray.
From this, the Baggies may be tempted to part ways with the 31-year-old and use the spare funds to recruit a fitter defender who can be relied upon for the majority of a season.
John Swift is another first-team figure who could make his way out of The Hawthorns, with Baggies supporters frustrated by his lack of consistency despite the talent he possesses.
The 29-year-old has been given a fresh start under Tony Mowbray since the 61-year-old took over The Hawthorns hotseat, and despite curling in a sensational free-kick away at Burnley in recent times, the former Reading man has shown little to justify earning a new deal.
With this in mind, a move away permanently could be a deal that suits all parties.
Rounding off the list is Grady Diangana, who has also suffered long spells of inconsistency since making a permanent move back in 2020.
Recording eight goals and six assists to help Albion reach the Premier League under Slaven Bilic back in 2020, the Congolese international has had a mix of poor form and injury issue disrupt his stay in the Black Country.
Transfer speculation around Diangana emerged during the winter transfer window, with the wideman reportedly turning down a pre-contract offer from Burnley, while Spanish outfit Celta Vigo and Italian side Parma registered an interest in securing his services.
