West Bromwich Albion are keen to make the loan move of Mason Holgate permanent.

The Birmingham Mail is reporting that should the Baggies make it back to the Premier League this season, they will look to secure a deal for the Everton loanee to make a full-time switch to the Hawthorns.

The right-back moved to the Championship in January and has been one of the club’s best performers since then.

Holgate has made nine league appearances for Darren Moore and has registered three assists during that time.

Performances have been professional and impressive to create a high level consistently in his displays, as well as showing an impressive attitude during his temporary stint with the Baggies.

The 22-year-old is still an Everton player, so it is unknown whether the top-flight side will relinquish the young talent to pastures new in the summer.

Therefore, having impressed so much, a permanent switch to the Hawthorns is something that is interesting Moore, should the club regain its Premier League status.

The verdict

This would be a terrific signing from West Brom permanently.

Holgate has been mightily impressive since his arrival to the Championship club, and they know the only way to keep him is to be able to offer Premier League football.

He is a player that oozes class, and his stage is undoubtedly the top flight.

Holgate has talent in abundance and is showing that every week in the second tier.

But a deal for the defender hinges on the division the Baggies will be playing in next season.
