However, the 34-year-old is set for an entirely different challenge as the Baggies’ manager, while the Championship can be a tough division for young bosses.
But Mason can boost his chances of steering the Black Country outfit to the playoff spots by overseeing a successful transfer window at The Hawthorns.
Amid Mason’s efforts to bolster his squad, West Brom have signed Nat Phillips from Liverpool, who has proven his defensive quality at Championship level during recent loan spells with Cardiff City and Derby County.
The Albion have also acquired Aune Selland Heggebo after the striker showcased his goalscoring prowess for Norwegian side Brann.
Meanwhile, if Mason signs Schlupp, he will add further quality and experience to his squad, which will enhance his side’s top-six credentials.
Elsewhere, West Brom News have exclusively revealed why Flamengo opted against signing Baggies star Mikey Johnston.
