The Baggies have announced the acquisition of midfielder Ousmane Diakite from Austrian Bundesliga side TSV Hartberg.
The 23-year-old, who played 34 times last season and scored two goals, has signed a two-year contract with the club option for a further 12 months.
Eight times a Mali Under-20 international, Diakite is hopeful of one day breaking into his nation’s senior team. Moving to England should help progress his chances and he’s excited to get going at The Hawthorns.
“I am delighted to be joining such a massive club,” Diakite told West Brom’s official website.
“It’s always been an ambition of mine to play in England and I just can’t wait to get started. I’m determined to succeed here and I will do everything I can to improve every single day.”
Albion head coach Carlos Corberan added: “Ousmane is a young, talented midfielder with the potential to continue his growth as a player in England.
