Joseph Masi of The Express and Star reports that the Championship giants are keen on signing Filip Krovinovic for good, with the report stating that Benfica will likely seek £10m for the Croatian midfielder who in recent months has blossomed into a crucial part of Slaven Bilic’s side.
And plenty of West Brom fans on social media were buzzing to hear the news, with lots of supporters eager for Krovinovic to become a permanent fixture of the Baggies squad, especially for the price tag Benfica are claimed to have slapped on the 24-year-old.
Here’s what lots of West Brom supporters had to say on Twitter…
A cracking start to the day. Thank you Mr Masi.

At £10M they should just do it

I think he’ll flourish in the Prem where generally speaking he’ll have more time on the ball than in the champ

£10m – well, perhaps in staggered payments dependant on appearances etc. But at 24, he can only improve.

Promotion to the Premier League could massively increase West Brom’s chances of clinching Krovinovic on a full-time basis.
