Okay Yokuslu says he is ‘excited to be coming home’ after he penned a three-year deal to return to West Bromwich Albion on Monday morning.

The Turkish midfielder spent the second-half of the 2020/21 campaign on loan from La Liga side Celta Vigo with Albion and now 12-months later, returns on a permanent contract.

Yokuslu, a Turkey international, left Celta earlier this summer and despite attracting interest from a number of clubs around Europe, has chosen to return ‘home’ to the Black Country.

He joins Jed Wallace, John Swift and Jayson Molumby as permanent arrivals at the Hawthorns this summer.

What’s been said

Steve Bruce

“I am delighted we have have been able to secure a player of Okay’s quality. Having already been able to sign Swifty and Jed this window, I’m really pleased the club have shown further intent by bringing in Okay.

“The middle of the park is an area in which I felt we needed more quality and from what I have seen of him, Okay certainly offers that in abundance. I know he is a fans’ favourite following his first spell at the club and I’m confident he will shine for us again this season.

“I must applaud the club for reacting quickly to an ever-changing situation. Ron and the staff behind the scenes have worked tirelessly to seal Okay’s signature.

“We faced fierce competition from some big clubs across Europe, but the player made it clear he wanted to return to the Albion, and he has his sights set firmly on the Premier League. We really are delighted to have him.”
