Majewski told to give Albion a miss

Thu 15 May, 02:00 PM


Poland coach Leo Beenhakker has warned West Brom target Radoslaw Majewski that a move to The Hawthorns could "kill his career".The Baggies are keen on making the Groclin Dyskobolia midfielder one of their first summer signings, although they have not yet made a firm bid for the 21-year-old.

Groclin's Sporting Director Tadeusz Fajfer told the Birmingham Mail: "There are no meetings planned - but questions have been asked by West Bromwich about this player because they are interested.

"That's as far as it's got. But, contrary to reports, we have not met anyone from their club as yet. It may not happen at all - we don't know.

"As for the price of 3million Euros, that has not been disclosed by us. It is speculation to suggest that we would want that much for the player although any negotiations will remain private."

Tony Mowbray has hinted that he may wait until after this summer's European Championships before bidding for the likes of Majewski, but he may have to move quickly if he does not want the playmaker to be put off a move by his national boss Beenhakker.

The former Ajax and Real Madrid chief has warned Majewski against joining such a "direct and functional" team, saying: "They are not going to be needing creative midfielders but the kind of players they need to stay up.

"If Majewski moved to West Bromwich Albion it would make no sense whatsoever.

"They are going to be battling against relegation and probably won't want players like this so I'm surprised they are looking at him.

"If it was Tottenham or Manchester City wanting him then that's something different. But it could kill his career going there (to West Brom)."
