Other than Arsenal, West Bromwich Albion have been the quietest Premier League club in the summer transfer window, but that’s all about to change as Steve Clarke’s side are set to finalize a deal to sign Udinese striker Matej Vydra on a loan deal in the next 24 hours, according to The Daily Mail.
Vydra, who played on loan at Watford last season where he scored 20 goals in 41 league appearances, is believed to have completed a medical over the weekend while Udinese and West Brom are close to tying up the deal.
