West Brom boss Tony Pulis has revealed his delight following the arrival of Nacer Chadli from Tottenham for a club-record fee of £13million.
The Belgium international has signed a four-year contract at The Hawthorns and he becomes the club’s third signing of the summer, following the permanent capture of Matt Phillips from Queens Park Rangers and the loan signing of Brendan Galloway from Everton.
Pulis had previously stated that he is actively looking to improve his squad before the close of the transfer window and he believes Chadli, who made over 100 appearances for Spurs, fits that bill.
“He’s a top, top player and I’m delighted we’ve got him,” Pulis said.
“I said last week that these signings all had to be about players who would improve our squad – and Nacer does precisely that.”
Chadli, who has also played for Twente and AGOVV Apeldoorn in the Netherlands, is looking forward to representing the Baggies and is hopeful of helping the club enjoy a successful season.
He said: “I feel very good to be here.
It came very quickly but I spoke to the club and they have a good team, a good manager and I am very pleased to be here. “My ambitions?
I just want to help the team win as many games as possible.”
Albion have made a steady start to the new Premier League campaign, picking up four points from their opening three matches, and will take on Bournemouth in their next game at the Vitality Stadium on September 10.
The Baggies are on offer at 4.00 to win the match while Bournemouth are priced at 2.00 and the draw is available at 3.20.
