Bruce is famous for getting clubs promoted and he will have a similar task in the first full season at The Hawthorns. 

As the Baggies have always had a reputation of being resolute defensively, the addition of Yokuslu will add to their reputation.

Even though he tends to play as a central defender, he can also keep hold of the defensive midfielder position whenever required by the manager.
