Barnsley Manager Hints at Departure of Star Player Attracting Interest From Multiple Clubs
Barnsley midfielder Callum Styles’ future is still up in the air after manager Darrell Clarke insisted that he left the star out of his side’s 2-1 defeat at home to Mansfield Town on Friday because the interest in the player has affected his mindset with a bid from Championship side West Brom rejected in recent weeks.

West Brom’s Financial Troubles Make Further Bid For Hungary International Appear Unlikely
The 24-year-old midfielder, who represented Hungary in the recent European Championships, has had loan spells at Championship clubs Millwall and Sunderland in the past two seasons. He was the subject of a bid from West Brom earlier this month but with the Baggies under restrictions on their transfer activity due to financial dealings relating to the previous ownership, this would appear to impair their ability to submit an improved offer.
Carlos Corberan’s side picked up three points in their opening league game with a 3-1 win at Queens Park Rangers thanks to a hat-trick from Josh Maja and have signed a player from Barnsley this summer, securing a deal for striker Devante Cole on a free transfer. The 29-year-old played a quarter of an hour in the win over QPR and scored 33 goals for Barnsley in their last two League One campaigns.
West Brom have signed just one player for a transfer fee in the summer transfer window, paying a reported £525,000 to Swedish side Brommapojkarna for central defender Torbjørn Heggem.
