He stayed with the Terriers into the Championship, where he scored 19 times with four assists in 43 matches last season. One of those goals came against Slaven Bilic’s Baggies.
“We are confident we have signed a young player who has proved he is ready for the challenges of the Premier League,” said West Brom technical and sporting director Luke Dowling. “He has scored goals throughout his career including the few months he had with Huddersfield at this level two years ago.”
The Baggies have also signed Grady Diangana, Matheus Pereira, Branislav Ivanovic, Callum Robinson, Filip Krovinovic, Conor Gallagher, Cedric Kipre and David Button this transfer window.
West Brom has just one point through four PL matches, scoring five times and conceding 13.
With Burnley, Brighton, and Fulham next on the league docket before Tottenham and Manchester United, the Baggies have to collect some points soon.
