Popular Italian journalist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has confirmed on social networking site Twitter that West Bromwich Albion have reached an agreement to sign midfielder Okay Yokuslu this month.

Romano has claimed today that the Baggies have reached a loan agreement with La Liga side Celta Vigo over a move for the 26-year-old midfielder. The deal will not include the option to sign the player permanently.

Yokuslu has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League this month. He was initially seen as an alternative for Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury, another Baggies target. But it seems the move will now go through before Monday’s transfer deadline.

The Baggies are desperately looking to bolster their midfield this month, and are also interested in signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Arsenal.

West Bromwich have reached an agreement to sign Okay Yokuslu from Celta Vigo on loan [no obligation, no option to buy]. Personal terms agreed too. Medicals and work permit pending.
