West Brom’s summer transfer business is about to get underway – but how much could they spend against their rivals?
As excitement for the 2024–25 Championship season grows, West Brom may fancy their prospects of winning next season.

Corberan was forced to work with players who had lost favor with previous managers. After offering them new agreements, Cedric Kipre and Alex Mowatt came back to become important players. The team is currently awaiting their decision.

Tobjorn Heggem appears to be the first signing of the Patel era, after an agreement was reached to sign the IF Brommapojkarna player to a long-term contract.

In light of this, as business starts to perk up, how wealthy is the majority owner of West Brom in comparison to the rest of the Championship? Here, with the help of data compiled by our friends at the Sunderland Echo, we look at:
