Roberto De Zerbi appears to have confirmed Albion will sign Mahmoud Dahoud this summer.

The head coach was asked about a potential addition of the Borussia Dortmund midfielder as he spoke at his press conference today.

He said: "I know very well Dahoud, but it's not official at the moment, it’s not official yet.

“We will speak about him later."

To a suggestion that it sounded like the deal would happen, De Zerbi said: "Yes, because we have not secret and I like him and I would like to work with him."

But he added: “He is not my player yet.”
