This from Sky Sports regarding the expected loan signing of OKAY YOKUSLU. Hopefully we'll have an okay and a maybe playing together
-------------

“West Brom could well be one of the busiest clubs. Okay Yokuslu is a player we’ve been talking about for the last few days or so.

“I full expect West Brom will complete a deal for him later today. I’ve been told in the last hour that he has now completed a medical in Spain. He’s awaiting the paper to be completed on his visa before he flies to the UK, but everything practical has been done, apart from the visa.

“West Brom expect this deal to get done, but they want another player as well.

The Express and Star have stated we are interested in Tottenhams japhet Tanganga on loan who can play r/b and c/h. Rumours of Benteke coming have no basis apparently

Good and good .... Benteke is well past his best .... and would cost a fortune in wages ... Tanganga seems a good prospect although not sure about throwing him into a relegation fight ...

Seems like Arsenal don’t want Maitland-Niles to come to Albion ..... despite reports to the contrary from the player himself ...

latest from sky regarding mainline- lines
--------

"At the moment all eyes are on Ainsley Maitland-Niles, but the question is which club will he want to join.

"We know a few are interested and it is our understanding that Arsenal are keen for him to join Southampton, but perhaps he’d rather move to West Brom where he’ll get more game time in his favoured position.

We’d be better off asking Everest to come down and board the goals up.

Tanganga would be a good signing.

I hope this Turkish midfielder hits the ground running. But I've never seen him play.

And we are in urgent need for a left back.

If we get two new full backs and the Turkish midfielder, its about as good as we can expect.

From Sky Sports
----------------

"Celta Vigo's Okay Yokuslu is 26, from Turkey, a defensive midfielder with a very physical way of playing, box to box, so a good player for the Premier League.

"He has arrived, but he has two main problems: he is not a player who makes a lot of goals - two in the last season - and he can play three or four really good games in a row, then the next week he plays really bad. So he is not very regular or predictable."

Southampton are no longer interested in Mainland-niles
