West Brom fans are over the moon with a report which says the club will make a move to sign Filip Krovinovic on a permanent deal from Benfica.

Krovinovic, 24, has become a fan favourite during his season-long loan spell at The Hawthorns this term, scoring three goals and supplying four assists in 43 appearances to help the Baggies win promotion to the Premier League.

Since the turn of the year, he has arguably been one of the best players for West Brom and that is why fans are so thrilled the club is trying to land him permanently.

According to the Telegraph, Albion could sign Krovinovic for as little as £6million.

Based on him being one of the top performers in the squad this season, that £6million price-tag seems like an absolute bargain.

And that is what loads of West Brom fans are saying too, with many in disbelief at how cheap the Croatian playmaker is available for.

Here is a selection of their tweets:

Pereira confirmed shortly and Krovinovic potentially coming in for £6m. Love to see it. #wba https://t.co/4Gqw7uwt7B

If it’s only around 6 million then it’s a no brainer

Bargain, looked great against Newcastle and West Ham in the cup. Will be suited to the prem with more time on the ball!

We'd be stupid not to

6 million that's a steal. Sign him now.......

Krovinovic has worked really well when Slaven Bilic has played a 4-3-3 formation.

Although Bilic seems to prefer 4-2-3-1, he has often switched things up and that is when Krovinovic has shone.

He played well earlier this season in the FA Cup when the Baggies played Newcastle and West Ham so that stands him in good stead going into the Premier League.
