West Brom boss James Morrison says he remains hopeful of adding further new signings before the transfer window closes, with a deal for Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer understood to be close.
The Baggies have already been active in the market this summer, bringing in winger Kareem Tunde earlier this week.
But Morrison is keen to further strengthen his squad.
"I am hopeful," he said.
"There's been a lot of hard work been going on behind the scenes.

Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer is set to join Championship outfit West Brom, where he had a spell on loan last season.
United have agreed an initial fee of £3m for the 22-year-old, but the overall package with add-ons is worth £7.6m.
In addition, the transfer is subject to a 40% sell-on.
Collyer had been choosing between West Brom and Hull, where he was also on loan during 2025/26. Initially, West Brom seemed to be favourites, then it looked like Hull were going to win the race.
Finally, it seems Collyer has been persuaded to move to the Hawthorns by Baggies boss James Morrison.

#initially

West Brom boss James Morrison has confirmed the club are close to signing Levante winger Kareem Tunde after their 3-2 Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle.
Morrison refused to discuss the deal in detail but indicated an announcement could be imminent.
"Yes, it's close," Morrison said. "I'll talk about it when it's done."
The Baggies boss also explained the decision to allow Krystian Bielik to leave for Cardiff City, insisting the defender wanted more regular football.
"Personally, the club felt it was a good offer," Morrison said.

Hull City have established their interest in signing Toby Collyer, despite the Manchester United youngster being on the verge of joining West Bromwich Albion.
That's according to Alex Crook, who adds that Hull are keen on bringing the midfielder back to the MKM Stadium following his brief loan spell last season.

Collyer spent the first half of 2025/2026 with the Baggies, making 12 appearances (three as a starter) before sustaining a significant calf injury in the winter that ended his stint prematurely.
He went back to his parent club to recover at Carrington, and, by January, United had opted to officially recall him from his loan.

West Bromwich maintained their perfect start to the Championship season with a convincing 3-1 victory over Burnley at The Hawthorns.
The visitors struck first after just eight minutes when Callum Styles inadvertently turned a Burnley cross into his own net following a quick break.
West Brom responded impressively, drawing level before the half-hour mark. Jimmy-Jay Morgan picked out Harry Whitwell, who calmly finished to register his first league goal at The Hawthorns.
The visitors threatened to restore their advantage before the interval, with Armando Broja hitting the post, but the Baggies came out strongly after the break.
They completed the turnaround just two minutes into the second half when Isaac Price found the net with a superb finish after Morgan's involvement once again helped create the opening.

It is 0-0 between Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion with 15 minutes remaining in the opening game of the season at Carrow Road.
Baggies forward Jimmy Jay-Morgan crosses it into Norwich's six-yard box at pace, flying by the outstretched hand of Canaries keeper Vladan Kovacevic and into the path of Albion striker Aune Heggebo.
The Norwegian jumps, seemingly trying to guide it in with his foot but it hits his hand instead and flies into the net.
Did he mean to handball it? Hard to tell at the speed it all happened.
Norwich players protest, but referee Tim Robinson and his ******* istants did not see it and the goal is given.

West Bromwich Albion head coach James Morrison says the thing that most frustrated him about captain Alex Mowatt's eve-of-season exit to Derby County was the timing of it.
For the second season running, following Darnell Furlong's departure to Ipswich Town a year ago, the Baggies have lost the captain they started the season with.
But Mowatt's successor George Campbell proved a lucky on-field general in Saturday's somewhat fortuitous 2-1 win at Norwich.
And Morrison is now only looking forward after Albion's third successive opening-day Championship win in as many seasons.
"It's just football," Morrison told BBC Radio WM. "There's a little bit of a hangover. But am I going to let it derail me? No. I've got to lead the team and set an example and show that it can't affect us.

West Bromwich Albion have rejected an offer from fellow Championship club Derby County for midfielder Alex Mowatt, reports BBC Radio WM.
Mowatt, 31, has a year remaining on his contract at The Hawthorns.

West Bromwich Albion have signed Norway midfielder Felix Horn Myhre on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
The 27-year-old, capped six times by his country, joins the Baggies from Norwegian top-flight side SK Brann to become head coach James Morrison's sixth major signing of the summer.
Myhre brings experience of playing in the Europa League, helping Brann reach the knockout stages of the competition last season and has also featured in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League and Europa Conference League.
He has been linked with the move to Albion for a few weeks and said conversations with Morrison gave him a "really good vision for the club" and that he saw a "lot of potential" with the squad.
Myhre will join his Norway - and former Brann - team-mate Aune Heggebo, at The Hawthorns and follows forward Jimmy-Jay Morgan, defender Conor Townsend, goalkeeper Matt Ingram and striker Barney Stewart in signing for the new season.

At the end of the 2023-24 season, Albion had a huge problem.
On the pitch, things had gone well; the Baggies had made the play-offs and only lost to eventual winners, Southampton.
However, off the pitch concerns were mounting for new owners Bilkul.
The club had gone through the campaign with the oldest squad in the Championship (with an average age of nearly 28 years old).
The club knew they had a Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) problem they needed to get out from under, but they also had an ageing squad with very few saleable ******* ets.

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Ousmane Diakite has committed his future to the Championship club by signing a new three-year contract.
The 25-year-old joined the Baggies on a free transfer from Austrian club TSV Hartberg in 2024 and has so far made 63 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal.
West Brom initially activated a 12-month extension clause in March before agreeing a new improved deal which will keep the Mali international at The Hawthorns until at least the summer of 2029.
"When I first came here, it was a little tough, but now I've adapted to the new challenge and I'm ready to get properly into next season," Diakite told the West Brom website.
"We have a beautiful family here and that makes me very happy."

West Bromwich Albion have confirmed Matt Gill will be staying as ****** istant head coach to boss James Morrison and added Celtic first-team coach Gavin Strachan and former Middlesbrough defender Tony McMahon to the coaching staff.
Gill joined up with the Baggies for the last 11 fixtures of 2025-26, as they went on to secure their Championship survival off the back of a 10-game unbeaten run.
Strachan, 47, has been with the Scottish champions since 2020 after previous ****** istant manager roles in the EFL with Doncaster and Peterborough.
McMahon, 40, has had previous coaching experience at Scunthorpe United and York City.
Albion also confirmed Boaz Myhill will continue as goalkeeper coach, Leigh Downing will return to his senior role with the Baggies' under-21 team while ****** yst Damia Abella is leaving after three years.
