West Bromwich Albion are set to lose their Belgian World Cup star Nacer Chadli, who is on the verge of completing a £10 million move to Monaco.
The 29-year old who moved to West Brow from Spurs for what was, at the time, a club record fee of £13 million, had been seeking an exit from The Hawthorns since their relegation to the Championship was confirmed in May, and now he has got his wish, with Sky Sports confirming that the fee had been agreed between the two clubs, with the deal set to be complete by Friday.
The midfielder has been hit by a series of injuries during his time in the West Midlands, although, irrespective of that, he was still deemed fit enough not only to be included in Belgium’s World Cup squad, but also to feature in their quarter-final win over Brazil and semi-final loss to France.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
