Albion attacker Karlan Grant has been sharpening up his left side in a bid to increase his threat in Carlos Corberan’s ranks.

Grant, who turned 27 last month, has been Corberan’s go-to on the left side of the Baggies’ attack this term, largely keeping his spot over £3million summer recruit Mikey Johnston.

The former Charlton and Huddersfield man chipped in with a goal in the victory at Stoke in August and has gone close on several other occasions. He has won credit from the head coach for tireless displays working up and down the flank.

Grant, naturally right-footed, has been putting in the hours so opponents do not find it as simple to do their homework on him.

When you are playing in those positions you ‘ve got to be able to go in both ways, Said Grant. That’s something I have been working on doing, you know what this league is like when you’re a player scoring a lot of goals coming on your right they do their homework, they are no stupid.
