West Brom made contact with Peterborough over Andrea Borg, according to the Peterborough Telegraph.

The 18-year-old is highly rated even though he has only made four first-team appearances, with only one of them coming last season.

However, the Baggies aren't interested in bringing him into the first-team straightaway, so he will join the academy set-up to continue his development.

There could be a role for him in the first-team within the next few seasons, though, because the attacking midfield position is an area they are light in.

Tony Pulis' impact on the squad means they are relatively limited in terms of creativity with Darren Moore aiming to change that ahead of next season as he intends to build on an impressive spell in charge at the end of last season.

The Verdict

This would be another blow for the Posh even though he has barely played for the team because he is part of their conveyor belt of talent.

Therefore, talented players such as him are supposed to replace players leaving this summer with Jack Marriott and Marcus Maddison both likely to go.

West Brom have a good academy set-up, so Borg is sure to continue developing there.

Jonathan Leko and Sam Field are two examples of players that have graduated through recently, and they are likely to have a big role in the promotion push next season.
