West Brom: Fans want club to sign Filip Krovinović on a permanent transfer

A lot of West Brom fans have emphasised that they want the club to sign current loanee Filip Krovinovic on a permanent transfer after it is reported that he is available to buy in the summer via A Bola.

The Croatian midfielder has been on loan from Benfica since the start of the season and if the Baggies want to sign him permanently, it will cost around €10m (£9m).

Indeed, he has started 20 times in the Championship and made 11 substitute appearances, scoring and assisting twice, per Transfermarkt. Given the fact he features within the top five of the squad for both key passes per game (1.2, per WhoScored) and average pass completion (85.2%), it highlights how he looks to be one of the men in the squad who can spot a player in an advanced position and is likely to be successful in finding them.

The deal looks good for both team and player, as the Baggies are pushing for a place in the Premier League. After all, they are currently in an automatic promotion position as they sit second and are six points are clear of third.

Here is what fans are saying on the potential signing:

100% sign him, he’s got better and better as the season has gone on. He seems a great character and his bond with Pereira is great to see.
