How much West Brom will pay as Brayann Pereira transfer confirmed
West Bromwich Albion concluded their transfer business with the signing of Brayann Pereira.
The Baggies took their number of summer arrivals to nine, as French full-back Pereira joined from NEC Nijmegen.
James Morrison was on the lookout for another body in defence, with the backline looking a little shy on options.
Pereira's versatility was a big factor for Albion, with the 23-year-old able to play at right-back and centre-back.

How much did West Brom pay for Brayann Pereira?
The Baggies finished the window with new signings through the door at The Hawthorns to boost Morrison's squad.
Two of those were in defence, with Pereira joining after Nolan Galves signed from Rodez AF earlier in the window.
BBC Radio WM journalist Steve Hermon has now provided more detail on the sum Albion have paid for Pereira.
According to Hermon, the Baggies paid a fee in the region of £1million to Nijmegen to bring Pereira to the club.
The 23-year-old has signed a four-year contract at Albion.
Where will Brayann Pereira play for West Brom?
West Brom were looking just a touch light in defenece.
Alfie Gilchrist was allowed to join Leyton Orient on loan, and Krystian Bielik move to Cardiff City on a permanent deal.
Galves was brought in as a specialist right-back to fill that problem, while Pereira gives a bit more flexibility.
Pereira can cover at right-back, but he is also at home in the centre, so Morrison has options for how he wants to utilise the 23-year-old.
