In a twist of fate for Rennes’ transfer plans, French striker Thievy Bifouma from Espanyol Barcelona will no longer be heading to Brittany.
Despite initial interest, it appears that the potential deal has now cooled off.
Instead, it seems that the 21-year-old, who has seen limited playing time in La Liga this season, is set to finish the season in the Premier League.
Thievy Bifouma is reportedly close to securing a loan move to West Bromwich Albion, with the transfer of Ivorian Lacina Traoré to Everton likely facilitating the French international’s arrival.
