West Brom want to sign Dinamo Zagreb ace Amer Gojak this summer
West Brom want to sign Dinamo Zagreb attacking midfielder Amer Gojak this summer, according to Germanijak.
The online outlet have reported on their website that concrete enquiries have been made for the Bosnian, who is among a group of players classed as surplus.
It is said that Gojak would not struggle to get a work permit for The Hawthorns, given his extensive international experience that has earned his 29 caps for his country.
Gojak was loaned to Torino the summer before last, with the Italian side having the option to purchase the playmaker for £5million, although that didn’t happen.
The Baggies are now looking to take advantage of that further down the line.
It is reported that a deal could now even happen for less than £1.7million which could represent a real bargain for The Albion as they look to reinforce this squad.
Nothing will happen imminently though, with the Croatians first having to employ a new manager, as well as a new sporting director to move them forward.
Making moves?
Steve Bruce is looking to mould this squad into his own after a poor end to last season.
With promotion the only goal next season in the Championship, John Swift has already been added as a free agent, freeing up funds to use elsewhere.
That midfield area was very weak last season, with Jake Livermore, Alex Mowatt and Jayson Molumby failing to deliver despite two of them being guaranteed starting spots.
Bruce now clearly wants more creativity.
The six-time Croatian league champion hasn’t proved that’s what he can deliver though in his mot recent season, scoring and assisting only once in his 24 appearances.
Hopefully, he would be able to thrive in the Championship, although any move appears unlikely regardless of this link – with Jed Wallace most likely the next target.
After Swift was announced quickly this week, we expect even more business in the next month in what could be a very exciting time at The Hawthorns.
