L’Équipe understands that West Bromwich Albion are interested in FC Lorient’s Théo Le Bris (21), nephew of Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris.
Théo broke into the first team at Lorient under the stewardship of his uncle Régis. The latter has already left Les Merlus following their relegation to Ligue 2 last season, and the former could now follow suit. The versatile left-footed midfielder is the subject of interest from West Brom, who have intensified their enquiries in recent days.
Whilst WBA may make concrete steps to sign Le Bris before the closure of the window, L’Équipe understands that they will first look to sign a holding midfielder, before advancing the deal for the Lorient man. It is thought that Le Bris, whose contract with Les Merlus runs until the summer of 2027, would be interested in making the move to the Hawthorns, where he would have the chance to feature against his uncle in England’s second division.
