I saw on his Instagram he's currently on holiday in the Balearic islands.

Agree, We need a top rate striker and for that we will have to pay a very large sum

Unless McGill has signed a new deal it looks like he is out of contract in under 3 weeks time ?
He has played 1 league game for Crawley.
He simply isn't ready to be our 3rd choice even if he signs up.

Looks like this is now imminent. Scherpen is missing Ajax's training camp and on his way.

Surely any goalkeeper is being signed as a number 2 to Sanchez?

There was so much ongoing silence over this deal that I reckoned it was off.
I assume he wouldn't sign while we had 4 senior keepers on the books and the Ryan sale has unblocked the move.

He's being signed to be part of the three senior keepers - Sanchez, Steele and Scherpen now that Ryan's departure is imminent and Walton's likely departure this summer has been reported several times. Sanchez clearly current #1.

This kid is only 21, I assume this is part of the succession planning the club are on about, get him signed and ready for a couple of seasons time if Sanchez is sold on. He may even go out on loan if we sign him as he is fairly inexperienced, dependent on what happens with Walton as well. Ajax were going to send him to another Eredivisie side in PEC Zwolle for the 21-22 season.

At most he'll be number 2 next season. Or possibly loaned out and we sign someone more experienced as well.
Could have been work permit question marks as well. I'm no expert but I struggle to see how he gets one.

Ben Roberts is one of the best goalkeeper coaches around and so I expect he’ll be at the Albion deputising for Sanchez, getting coached by Roberts and playing a few U23 games for real game practice. Maybe play a couple of cup games too.

"Of course we have several options," continued Ten Hag, without going into names. A player whose trainer seems to have already said goodbye is Kjell Scherpen. The goalkeeper is on his way to Brighton & Hove Albion and is not on training camp. Rumors of a transfer to the Premier League have been going around for some time. However, an official press release about a transfer is not forthcoming. "The fact that he is not here is of course a signal that we are not counting on him this season," said the trainer. "But a lot can come between them, so it's unpredictable in that regard."

I reckon this is dragging on because of work permit issues.

We are clearing out the deadwood at a decent rate and I’d expect new signings before to long
