West Brom’s promotion hopes have been given a major lift thanks to the impressive form of loanee Adam Armstrong. The striker has added much-needed firepower, quickly becoming a key figure in their attack.
However, as Armstrong continues to shine, questions remain over whether West Brom can secure his permanent signing amid likely interest from other clubs.

00:00West Brom's promotion push has been given a crucial boost after a win over QPR, with
00:08Adam Armstrong on loan from Southampton scoring the decisive goal. The Baggies, currently
00:13in sixth place after a draw with Burnley, are firmly in the play-off spots but a challenging
00:18run of fixtures are ahead.
00:21Manager Tony Mowbray, who took over after Carlos Corberan's departure, will need to
00:26adjust his squad, potentially relying on Everton loanee Mason Holgate, or a change
00:31in formation.
00:33Adam Armstrong, who joined West Brom on deadline day, has already shown his value in the Championship,
00:39with a proven track record from his time at Blackburn and Southampton.
00:44While he hasn't scored in recent games, former England international Lee Hendry believes
00:49Armstrong is well-suited for a permanent move to the Baggies.
00:54West Brom may look to make his transfer permanent though. Negotiations could be tricky, with
00:59a fee around £13m potentially deterring Southampton, especially as they prepare for a likely relegation.
01:24With now a single-figure amount of games remaining in the season, West Brom are determined
01:49to make a stronger push for promotion after their semi-final defeat last year. Mowbray
01:55has praised the supporters for their backing, especially during difficult moments like the
02:00furlong red card.
02:02The club's ambitions remain clear as they aim to secure a top-six finish and avoid an
02:07early exit from the play-offs, hoping for a successful end to the campaign and a return
02:12to the Premier League.
