Tony Pulis is set to scrap England under-21 international Brendan Galloway’s loan deal and send him back to Everton in January.

Galloway has struggled for first-team football at the Hawthorns and it appears increasingly likely that his season-long move will be cut short in the New Year.

The defender has not played for West Brom since the 4-2 win over West Ham on September 17 and Everton are expected to discuss the situation before the end of the year.

Pulis has used Allan Nyom, a specialist right-back, on the left side of his defence and is already targeting Leeds United’s Charlie Taylor for a permanent move when the transfer window reopens.
