Celta Vigo's Okay Yosulu

Many West Bromwich Albion fans exploded with delight after the club announced the signing (via @WBA) of Celta Vigo defensive midfielder Okay Yokuslu.

The Baggies had been linked with a host of midfielders this month, but finally got the deal over the line for the 26-year-old on Monday evening.

How well do you know West Brom's transfer business? First up, how much did Sam Johnstone cost in 2018? *Fees from Transfermarkt*

Via Birmingham Mail, Sam Allardyce’s side saw off competition from Spain to get the move done and he will move to The Hawthorns on loan until the end of the season.

Yokuslu arrives at the club on the back of 14 appearances this season for Celta Vigo, adding to his total of 72 outings and has 28 caps for Turkey at international level.

Will Okay Yokuslu be a success for West Brom?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Unsurprisingly, this attracted an immensely positive reaction from the supporters and did not waste any time making their feelings clear following the announcement.

Whether Big Sam and co add even more signings on Monday evening is yet to be seen, but fans certainly have something to be excited about, as you can see below…
