Pascal Gross is expected to complete a move to Borussia Dortmund.

The Albion midfielder is set to join the Bundesliga outfit for a fee of £8 million plus add-ons.

Discussions continued between the two clubs as Albion reached the end of their week in Tokyo.

Albion were keen for him to stay as Fabian Huerzeler and his coaching staff from Germany settle into the Premier League.

But the club have made a notable midfield addition in Mats Wieffer and have always been respectful of the fact there would come a time when Gross would want to return to Germany for football and family reasons.
