Nacer Chadli to West Brom: Latest Transfer Details, Comments, Reaction

Tom SunderlandAug 29, 2016

West Bromwich Albion have completed the signature of Tottenham Hotspur winger Nacer Chadli, who moves to the Hawthorns for an undisclosed fee.

The Baggies announced the signing via their official website on Monday, confirming the Belgium international had penned a four-year contract with manager Tony Pulis' side.

Chadli moved to White Hart Lane from FC Twente in 2013 and scored 25 goals in 119 appearances for Tottenham, per Transfermarkt.

Chadli is West Brom's new club-record signing.

West Brom also provided quotes from their latest signing, who spoke of the move and the opportunities he's likely to get with the west Midlands outfit.

Chadli, 27, said: "I feel very good to be here. It came very quickly, but I spoke to the club, and they have a good team, a good manager and I am very pleased to be here. My ambitions? I just want to help the team win as many games as possible."

Pulis was happy to have the Belgian on board and added: "He’s a top, top player, and I’m delighted we’ve got him. I said last week that these signings all had to be about players who would improve our squad—and Nacer does precisely that."

Sky Sports reported on Monday that the deal had cost West Brom a club-record sum of £13 million, just edging the £12 million that was forked out for the signature of Salomon Rondon last summer.

ESPN FC writer and Spurs supporter Michael Caley suggested the Baggies are getting their hands on an entertaining asset, albeit one who's perhaps lacking in consistency:

Chadli has made a total of 88 appearances in the Premier League to date—an average of almost 30 per season since arriving in England—although just 53 of those were as part of Tottenham's starting XI.

Kristof Terreur of Het Laatste Nieuws recently outlined the Premier League's ongoing interest in Belgian players and the upturn in prices being paid for stars originating from the nation:

After showing glimpses of brilliance during his three-year stay in north London, Chadli will now hope to capitalise and offer Pulis the best of his playing ability.

West Brom have won one game, lost one and drawn one in their first three games of the 2016-17 Premier League campaign, but they'll hope the addition of wide talent Chadli will improve their prospects.
