Expensive 100 cap West Brom flop who suffered Premier League relegation looking for latest club at 35

When Grzegorz Krychowiak arrived at West Brom in 2017 it was seen as a major coup for the club.

Having spent seven years consecutive years in the Premier League - Albion were looking to keep building and the Polish international seemed to be a major signing towards that.

Arriving on loan from PSG, having had successful spells in Spain and then France, it was a major move in the market for Albion.

The midfielder had been linked with top Premier League clubs in the past.

The move sparked excitement about what Albion could do that season, but a tale of defeats, sackings and an ill-fated pre-season trip to Barcelona all culminated in relegation.

For the Polish midfielder, it turned out to be a disappointing loan spell and a blot on an otherwise decent career up to that point.

Although it was a loan, it was widely reported that the loan was a costly one for Albion owing to the PSG man's high wages.

After 27 appearances, he then spent time out on loan at Lokomotiv Moscow - before making a permanent move to Russia.

Moves to Greece and Saudi Arabia followed - before the midfielder, who reached a century of caps for his country, spent last season with Cypriot side Anorthosis.

Now 35, it seems the ex-Albion loanee has no plans to hang up to the boots just yet.

He is on the lookout for a new club after departing Cyprus, and has been linked with a move back to his home country, with reports suggesting Wieczysta Krakow want to bring him in.

However, the midfielder is not interested in the move, according to claims, but is keen to sign for a new club and add to his 500 plus career appearances.
