Albion head coach Roberto De Zerbi was asked at the start of the month is he is a fan of the January transfer window. As ever, the Italian head coach provided an honest response and said with smile, “If we sell no, if we buy yes.” De Zerbi previously stated he was keen to add to his squad and that he has spoken to the club and expressed his ideas and where he thinks the team could improve.
