West Brom agree Morgan Amalfitano deal


West Bromwich Albion have agreed a loan deal for Morgan Amalfitano, the French international who joins the Baggies for the season giving the Premier League side first option on a permanent deal next summer.

The 28-year-old joins WBA after manager Steve Clarke contacted Marseille representatives last week regarding a move for the attacking midfielder.


Clarke told the club's official website: "I’m delighted to welcome Morgan to the club. He is predominantly a right-sided midfielder who can also operate in a number of other midfield and attacking positions.


"Morgan is a technical player with good quality on the ball. He also has fantastic work-rate and we believe his game is well suited to the Premier League. Morgan’s arrival will increase competition in midfield and add more quality and depth to the squad."
