Albion striker Adil Nabi joins Delhi Dynamos

The 21-year-old has signed a three-month loan to take part in the league's second season.

Delhi are coached this year by former Brazil international Roberto Carlos and have also recruited former internationals and Premier League stars John Arne Riise and Florent Malouda.

Nabi will become the first footballer contracted to a Premier League club to take up a loan to the ISL.

"I didn't really have to think about it for too long," he said. "The idea appealed to me the moment it was proposed. I spoke to my parents and to people at the club and everyone thought it was an exciting idea.

"I can't wait. It is going to be an amazing experience. Some of the players who are now going to India are the biggest names in world football and working under a legend like Roberto Carlos is a chance not to be missed.

"I have spoken to the gaffer (Tony Pulis) and he agrees that it can be a great development opportunity for me. To go out, away from all my home comforts, and experience life and different football.

"I will be back at the end of the year when I hope I will have learned as a person and a footballer. My ambition is to still break into the Albion first team and this experience can help me do that."

Head Coach Tony Pulis said: "It's a great opportunity for Adil and we will follow his progress closely.

"I'm a big supporter of a young man stepping out of his comfort zone and experiencing another part of the world.

"I think he will come out of it a better, more mature person and as a result a better footballer."
