Norwegian defender Torbjorn Heggem set for West Brom medical ahead of first summer signing
Albion are poised to make IF Brommapojkarna defender Torbjorn Heggem their first signing of the summer.
The 25-year-old Norwegian is set to swap the Swedish top flight Allsvenskan for the second tier in English football in a permanent switch as Carlos Corberan's first signing of the summer as he undergoes a medical today (Tuesday).
Heggem, who stands at 6ft 3ins, is a left-footed defender capable of playing both as a left-back and also in the heart of defence.
His versatility brings useful competition to Albion's current squad, as it stands, as competition for Conor Townsend as the only recognised senior left-back and another central options to compete with Semi Ajayi and Kyle Bartley if, as expected, the experienced defender agrees to the contract offer on the table. Fellow defender Cedric Kipre is set for an exit.
