West Brom are already looking ahead to the 2015-16 campaign, as manager Tony Pulis announced the club's retained list immediately after his side's season finale versus at Arsenal.
Most notably, it was revealed that midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu will not be returning to The Hawthorns. West Brom decided against exercising their one-year option on the Democratic Republic of the Congo international, ending his six-year stint at the club.
Despite failing to register a goal or assist through 17 Premier League appearances, Mulumbu is a fan favourite at West Brom and his excellent dribbling skills in the middle of the pitch will result in no shortage of suitors.
Here's a complete summary of West Brom's retained list:
- Boaz Myhill (12-month option will be taken up)
- Claudio Yacob (12-month option will be taken up)
- Gareth McAuley (due to open talks over a new deal, out of contract)
- Youssouf Mulumbu (one-year option will not be exercised)
- Chris Baird (released)
- Jason Davidson (released)
- Andre Wisdom (will return to Liverpool following end of season-long loan)
