What happened: Callum Styles has agreed a new four-year contract with West Bromwich Albion, tying the Hungary international to the club until the summer of 2030. West Brom confirmed the extension, keeping the versatile defender at The Hawthorns rather than letting his situation drift toward an exit.

Why it matters: Locking down an established Hungary international removes any uncertainty over Styles' future and signals West Brom's intent to retain its core for a promotion push. It continues a busy stretch of squad business for the club, which recently completed the permanent signing of defender Carter Pinnington.

What to watch: Attention turns to whether West Brom can add further reinforcements ahead of the new season after securing one of its multi-role defenders long term.
