West Brom still hunting for late loan signings

The Belgium World Cup star last night completed a move to Monaco after the Baggies agreed a £10million fee with the French League club.

Boss Darren Moore is eager to bring in at least one signing with the funds, so long as the right player can be sourced.

The Express & Star understands Albion approached Blackburn over Bradley Dack but were told the playmaker is not for sale at any price.

Brentford’s Romaine Sawyers, who began his career in the Baggies youth team, is another potential target ahead of today’s 5pm deadline.

Chadli’s exit brought to an end a two-year stay at The Hawthorns which began brightly but then rapidly faded.

Signed for a club record £18million fee from Tottenham, he netted four goals in his first five Premier League outings for the Baggies but managed only two more as injuries blighted his progress.

Chadli fell out with Tony Pulis after refusing to attend the former boss’s traditional Austria training camp prior to the start of last season.

He then made only five appearances in the whole of the campaign as the club finished bottom of the Premier League.

But having recovered his fitness, Chadli went on to star for Belgium at the World Cup, helping his national team to a third-placed finish in Russia.

Though Moore had been keen to keep the player at The Hawthorns, Chadli had made clear his desire to leave, with Monaco eventually offering him an escape route before today’s European transfer deadline.

In addition to replacing Chadli, it is thought Moore would also like to bring in a centre-back.

Several of Albion’s young players were, meanwhile, poised to have their short-term futures decided today.

Sam Field, Rekeem Harper, Jonathan Leko, Kyle Edwards and Kyle Howkins have all been the subject of interest from clubs in Leagues One and Two.
