Tyreece Simpson’s move to Huddersfield Town may not be as done and dusted as previously believed with West Brom reported to have shown late interest in the striker.

Over the weekend, it appeared only a matter of time before the 20-year-old’s switch to the Terriers was confirmed, not least as the West Yorkshiremen posted a post-signing interview video on their YouTube account before removing it. A fee of £500,000 plus top-ups and a sell-on was understood to have been agreed along with personal terms.

Now, according to the EADT, the Baggies have shown late interest in Simpson ahead of the transfer window closing at 11pm tomorrow.

Towards the end of last season, Simpson, who scored 11 goals during a successful loan spell at Swindon in the first half of 2021/22, told the Blues he wanted to move on this summer having turned down the offer of a new contract in January.

In May, Town took up a one-year option on his previous deal in order to secure a fee which was likely to be higher than the training compensation they would otherwise have received.

Luton, Peterborough, Middlesbrough and Barnsley all showed interest during the close season and Town turned down a number of offers for the academy product with clubs not matching their asking price, which at the time was understood to be £600,000.

Simpson has made two senior starts and five sub appearances for the Blues without scoring. This season, the frontman hasn't featured for Town at any level.

In June, Simpson was pictured in West Brom kit while working with a Norfolk-based personal trainer, however, this appears unrelated to the current apparent interest.

ArnieM added 13:07 - Aug 31 Oh for gods sake, how much more if this crap ? He's a “nothing, U23”. It's ridiculous the amount of time and covered thus player is receiving when he clear isn't interested in being an Ipswich Town player. So just go. I do t care where, just sod off. There's far more deserving actual Town players that could get exposure of their careers than this want away U23 individual.

mutters added 13:34 - Aug 31 I still feel it's a shame he is leaving as he could have done a job here given the chance. We should have never of bought him back from his loan unless we were going to give him a chance to play. He was playing and scoring well at Swindon. People may moan about him refusing to sign a new contract but personally I wouldn't have if my employer treated me the way they did. IMO Town messed this one up.

Skip73 added 14:55 - Aug 31 In a couple of years this story will pop up on the 'happened on this day' thread on here, and we'll be saying "Who? Oh, yes I remember him, I wonder where he is now". An U23 player nothing more. Good riddance to him when he goes tomorrow.

hyperbrit added 15:25 - Aug 31 greedy agents and even possibly greedy parents who see him as a meal ticket.The tragedy of Conner Wickham repeats itself here ,but Town has signalled that they will not play these silly games anymore.

ButchersBrokenNose added 16:57 - Aug 31 Someone's just messing this kid around now, and it's probably someone who should know better. The season's started, he's been pictured in a Huddersfield kit, and suddenly it's not "done and dusted?" Come on.

DeliasMashedPotato added 09:37 - Sep 1 I think this might be more a case of us holding out for a better offer. No point selling until late in the window if we could get an extra 100k from another club. Still think this guy (probably his agent) has no integrity whatsoever for somebody who has proved so little. Average performances for a league 2 club. I was excited about him but if he doesn't wanna get on board then we leave him behind
