Sources: Sheffield Wednesday and Fleetwood Town set sights on West Brom forward Tulloch
Sheffield Wednesday and Fleetwood Town are racing to sign West Brom forward Rayhaan Tulloch on loan, Football Insider understands.
Scouts watched Tulloch catch the eye on Monday night for the Baggies Under-23s against Aston Villa with the opening goal and an assist for the winning goal.
A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Tulloch, 20, has been made available by West Brom for a loan move in the second half of the season.
The Championship club believe his development will be accelerated by playing regular football at this stage of his career.
The young attacker is under contract at the Hawthorns for another two and a half years after signing a long-term deal in July 2020.
A move to Sheffield Wednesday would see Tulloch reunited with Darren Moore, who managed Albion between 2018 and 2019.
Moore is a fan of Tulloch having handed him his professional debut in January 2019.
He also signed him on loan for Doncaster Rovers in 2020-21.
Tulloch made just two appearances in that loan spell, however, as a hamstring setback forced Albion to terminate the deal early.
Tulloch was brought on as a late substitute for his league debut in the Baggies’ 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers in August this season.
That is his only senior appearance 2021-22, though he has been named on the bench on a further seven occasions.
Romaine Sawyers, who is spending the season with Stoke City, is the only senior Baggies star out on loan this term.
But youth players Callum Morton, Jovan Malcolm and Josh Griffiths are all on temporary deals at League One sides.
Wednesday are 8th in the third tier, three points outside the play-off spots.
Fleetwood meanwhile are 19th, four points outside the drop zone.
