West Bromwich Albion are not currently trying to sign Kasey McAteer, 24, after making an initial enquiry for the player earlier in the window. Reporter Steve Tudgay states that West Brom asked about a potential loan for the Irish international, but Ipswich Town want his full wages covered, which is a condition Albion are not willing to meet. McAteer moved to the recently promoted Premier League side last summer for a reported £12m fee on a contract until 2029. He recorded three goals and one assist in 30 Championship matches. Ipswich's demand regarding his salary has halted West Brom's interest for now. The move could be pursued again if Ipswich agree to cover some of his wages towards the end of the transfer window. McAteer has 8 caps and one goal for Ireland and a current Transfermarkt market value of €10.00m.
