Okay Yokuslu has obtained his work permit ahead of his move to West Brom, that is according to Express & Star journalist Joseph Masi.

The Baggies confirmed an agreement to sign the 28-year-old on a three-year deal on July 18 on a free transfer.

Masi has tweeted on his account on Friday that the Turkish international will likely fly to the UK tonight and will be unveiled in the friendly match against Hertha Berlin tomorrow, Saturday, July 23.

Good signing

West Brom came off the back of a disappointing campaign where they finished in the 10^th position in the league table which was rather surprising considering that early on in the campaign, they were very much in the mix for a place in the top-six and push for promotion.

To avoid going through a similar route, manager Steve Bruce is keen on adding more quality to the squad ahead of the next campaign and the signing of Yokuslu is a step in that direction.

The Turkey international is a vastly experienced player having already played in La Liga, Türkiye Kupasi and the Premier League before and therefore, his arrival will definitely excite West Brom fans who will be hoping to see consistent performances from him, week in, week out in the next season.

Yokuslu spent a short loan with West Brom in 2021 where in 16 matches across all competitions, he managed to provide a solitary assist [Transfermarkt].
