Kim close to extending his Hawthorns stay

On loan Korean midfielder Do-Heon Kim is expected to complete his permanent move to The Hawthorns in the next few days, his agent has revealed. The 25-year-old has been a peripheral figure during his time at Albion since his switch from Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma in January, but was a key figure in helping the Baggies win the championship at Loftus Road with his impressive second-half performance which included the opening goal.

Although rarely used by Tony Mowbray in the Championship, it is thought the Baggies boss believes the midfielder will be better suited to Premiership football.

"Last week I was told West Brom had decided to offer Kim a contract," Kim's agent, Jae-hoon, said.

"A formal contract will be made on Wednesday."

The Club have confirmed advanced talks with Kim's representatives are at an advanced stage.
