West Brom have completed the signing of Argentinean midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Claudio-Yacob-c9331 on a free transfer. The player was on trial with the club and has been signed subject to an international clearance.
The midfielder had been training with the Baggies following his release by Argentinean club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-Club-c40301 de Avellaneda at the end of last season. Yacob has signed a three-year contract with the Birmingham club after passing a medical.
Yacob had been keen on a move to the Hawthorns, and it was understood that Baggies boss Steve Clarke was also interested in bringing the Argentinean to the club. West Brom had held talks with the player and a deal had been agreed but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Botafogo-c38671 had reportedly
managed to interrupt the proceedings by offering the player a very lucrative contract.
It was understood that West Brom had to offer a new and improved contract to Yacob and held further talks with the player in order to convince him that his future lay in the Premier League.
Yacob joins http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 manager.
Steve Clarke was thrilled by his latest signing. Speaking to West Brom’s official website, the manager said:
“I'm delighted to welcome Claudio to the club. He is an http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 international with a real desire to prove himself in the Premier League and it's great to have him on board.”
“It will take him a little bit of time to adjust to the demands of the English game and he's also got to learn our language, but we hope to have him up and running for the start of the season.”
The midfielder joined West Brom’s pre-season training camp in Malmo earlier this week. The 25-year old central midfielder began his senior professional career with former club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 in 2006 and was appointed captain two years later. He has also managed
two international caps for the Argentinean national team and scored against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ecuador-c2889 in a friendly game last year.
