Albion fans have been told they will NOT be saying farewell to Pascal Gross on Sunday – despite claims in Germany.

The out-of-contract German midfielder was reported to be close to signing for Werder Bremen.

But head coach Graham Potter today said Gross and Danny Welbeck are both close to agreeing new Albion deals

He added: "Just the formalities to do - which is great."

Gross has 16 goals and 26 assists in his five Prem campaigns and has been in fine form of late.
