# West Brom: Baggies make offer for Okay Yokuslu

**Sam Allardyce’s West Bromwich Albion have recently made an offer for Celta Vigo midfielder Okay Yokuslu.**

Journalist Loic Tanzi [has recently provided an update](https://twitter.com/Tanziloic/status/1354371567015354368) about West Brom’s interest in Yokuslu and it seems as if an offer has been made for the midfielder.

### ‘Last offer’ made for the Celta midfielder

[Tanzi’s tweet talked about the club’s interest](https://twitter.com/Tanziloic/status/1354371567015354368) in Yokuslu, saying that West Brom consider this to be their ‘last offer’ for the midfielder. They have made a loan offer for the Turkish midfielder and they’ve also included a compulsory purchase option in the deal, which would come into the equation if the Baggies end up staying in the Premier League.

The [journalist also said](https://twitter.com/Tanziloic/status/1354371567015354368) that a response from Celta is ‘expected’ today. This comes about a week after[Spanish outlet AS had stated](https://as.com/futbol/2021/01/16/primera/1610829210_827091.html) that Yokuslu was on West Brom’s shortlist for potential midfield options and discussions for a move were underway at that point itself.

The 26-year-old has made [12 appearances in La Liga this season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/okay-yokuslu/leistungsdaten/spieler/137616) and he has also played twice in the Copa del Rey. He is currently valued a [£3.60m by Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/okay-yokuslu/marktwertverlauf/spieler/137616).

### **Yokuslu would add depth to the West Brom side**

Yokuslu can [play in defensive midfield](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/okay-yokuslu/profil/spieler/137616), but he can also ply his trade in the central midfield position and at centre-back too.

As things stand, the Baggies [have just one option for the defensive midfield spot](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-bromwich-albion/kadernachposition/verein/984) and two out-and-out options in central midfield. Yokuslu would add depth in that part of the pitch, and because of his versatility, he would also add a number in the defence too in case of emergencies.
