Robeto De Zerbi wants Yasin Ayari to pile up appearances this season.

And that would appear to mean going out on loan.

The Albion boss sees Ayari, Steven Alzate and Facundo Buonanotte as candidates to add to Albion’s array of loan rangers.

He said: “I would like Ayari to have the possibility of playing 50-55 games.

“It’s not my job to decide where he should play, but I would like that because he has the quality to come back and to play to find space in the future with me, without me.

“The same with Jeremy Sarmiento and Deniz Undav (on loan at West Brom and Stuttgart, respectively).

“I pay attention to the players when they leave on loan, because it’s important for the club.”
