Graham Potter wants to help Yves Bissouma progress when he returns from AFCON action.
But the midfielder might not be the first Albion player involved in the current tournament.
Bissouma is away with Mali while rumours circulate of interest from other clubs.
Potter was asked about him after the win over West Brom.
He replied: “We’re comfortable with where we’re at, we know the situation.
“From my perspective, I’m just trying to help him when he comes back from the AFCON to perform to his best. When he does that he is a top player.
“We understand the way the market is, the way football is, we understand where we are in the football pyramid.

“You know that things can happen but my expectation is we will have a strong squad come the end of the window.”
Bissouma could play for Mali against Tunisia on Wednesday.
Gabon, whose squad includes Albion under-23s forward Ulrick Eneme Ella, face Comoros today.
