West Brom boss Tony Pulis eager to lower average age of squad

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has revealed plans to drop the average age of his squad.

Pulis has fielded the oldest average age team of any club in the Premier League season.

Pulis said: “If you look at our squad and look at the numbers and the ages of the players, we are a little bit short in respect of a middle group.

“We've got four or five young players who hopefully they will get a chance over the four or five games to play some time.

“But over that, there's not the number of 20-year-olds or early 20s, 23s and 24s that you'd want at the football club.

“We've got to try to find players now of that age to fill the squad and players of that ability to improve the group."
