West Brom Pursuing Rodez Right-Back Nolan Galves
A successful signing would strengthen James Morrison’s defensive rebuild by adding an attack-minded full-back with creative and recovery numbers.
Overview
- Talks between West Brom and Rodez are ongoing with the club reported to be “working on a deal” for 23-year-old Nolan Galves but no official announcement has been made.
- European reports say club-to-club agreements may exist that leave the final choice to Galves, and Southampton, QPR, Millwall, Young Boys and Nice have all been linked as potential destinations.
- Galves is an attack-minded right-back who made 36 appearances last season and registered eight assists, plus strong dribble and ball-recovery numbers that underline his creative and defensive work-rate.
- Rodez signed Galves to a three-year deal in 2024 and he reportedly has about 12 months left on that contract, with earlier reports this summer placing an asking price around £850,000.
- If completed the transfer would follow West Brom’s earlier defensive additions this window and could shift squad selection by giving manager James Morrison a specialist right-back option while the club continues to target wide attacking reinforcements.
