Albion are insistent upon signing a replacement before letting the former England Under-21 international go but their £15m move for Diafra Sakho broke down days before the takeover, with the club stating he had passed his medical and everything was agreed but he had a back injury that would have meant missing the start of the season.
西布罗姆维奇俱乐部坚持要签下一个替代球员才肯放走这位不足21岁的前英格兰国脚，不过他们以1,500万英镑邀请迪亚夫拉·萨科加盟的计划却在此次移交之前数天抛锚了，该俱乐部称他已经通过了医疗检查而且一切都符合要求，但是他背部受了伤，这意味着他会错过赛季的开始阶段。
