Manchester United youngster Toby Collyer is closing in on a loan move to West Brom.
Over a dozen Championship clubs enquired about Collyer's availability on loan this summer, but the Manchester Evening News understands the midfielder is set to join West Brom.
West Brom have made a convincing pitch to sign Collyer, beating stiff competition in the second tier.
Ryan Mason is hoping to lead West Brom back to the Premier League after his appointment at The Hawthorns in June. West Brom last competed in the topflight in 2020/21.
Collyer attracted intense Championship interest after breaking into the first-team at Old Trafford last season. The 21-year-old made his Premier League debut against Liverpool in September and made 13 senior appearances in total.
The Manchester Evening News recently reported Collyer would not be considered as a makeweight in a potential deal for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba.
Last summer, a source discussed Erik ten Hag's fondness for Collyer and another source said he records 'freakish' running stats in training that are only bettered by Bruno Fernandes.
Ruben Amorim has also praised Collyer. "He has very good legs, he's improving with the ball. He knows what he needs to do to play for this club and feels the club in the right way. He's really humble and when you work hard, you get the opportunity," said Amorim in January.
Collyer's contract at United runs until the summer of 2027, with the option of another year.
