Leyton Orient are in discussions to sign West Brom's English defender Alfie Gilchrist, who might leave The Hawthorns one year after his arrival. According to Sky Sports reporter Mark McAdam, the League One club is in discussions for the right-back, who is not in James Morrison's plans. It has been mentioned that West Brom may only be willing to approve a loan move rather than a permanent transfer for the 22-year-old, who has also been linked with Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers during this transfer window. Gilchrist's contract with West Brom runs until 2030 and his current Transfermarkt market value is €3.50m. In the 2025/2026 Championship season, he made 43 appearances and provided 2 assists.
