Breaking - RB Leipzig winger Oliver Burke is on his way to the #wba training ground for a medical. Unsure if deal is a permanent one or loan

JH - It's not that I'm not keen. He could well be a player.
However I would definitely not fork out £15m for him. Get him on loan, look at him for 12 months and then decide.

That's what we've done with the Hegazi deal. Makes sense.

Burke is exactly the sort of player Albion need. Young, powerful, and pacy. And crucially for him, he's over 6ft!

Pulis confirms we are after another 4 players.
I think -
CB
Striker
Utility squad man - Marc Wilson
LB/GK?
