Devante Cole’s move to West Bromwich Albion last summer was something of a head-scratcher, and seven months on the forward’s time at the Hawthorns hasn’t taken off.
The former Barnsley man was brought to the club on a free transfer during the previous off-season, with the Baggies having to find bargain buys to add to their squad due to financial issues seeing the EFL impose a business plan on the Black Country side.
Since then, the 29-year-old has yet to start a league game in his new surroundings, and unsurprisingly hasn’t found the back of the net, with game time becoming more and more elusive as the season goes on.
With that in mind, we spoke to Football League World’s West Brom fan pundit Callum Burgess about the Cole conundrum this summer, and what he expects his club should do with the rarely-seen striker.

With Albion starting the season in fine form under Carlos Corberan, Cole was forced to play second fiddle to Josh Maja for much of the campaign, with the former Sunderland man netting ten times in his first 16 Championship outings.
