West Brom look to have pipped Crystal Palace to the signing of RB Leipzig winger Oliver Burke.
The Scottish international was reportedly a target for Palace who were lining up a £15million deal but it looks like Albion have swooped in to take him from under their noses.
As it stands, it’s not clear whether the 20-year-old is moving to the Hawthorns on a permanent deal or on loan, although it had been reported a few weeks ago that he was seeking a move away from Germany.
The winger was left out of the Leipzig squad for their season opener against Schalkeand the Bundesliga side were happy for him to look for a new club.
If the deal is a permanent one, West Brom will likely be paying between £10m-£15m for Burke, a fee which Palace were reportedly happy to pay.
