Baggies land defender

West Brom boss Tony Mowbray has signed one of his top targets in defender Jonas Olsson from Dutch Eredivisie side NEC Nijmegen.

The centre-half, who can also play on the left of the defence, has agreed a two-year deal at the Hawthorns which has a further option for another year and he will join the club for an initial fee of £800,000.

That fee could rise by a further £360,000 for the Sweden under-21 international depending on add ons.

Mowbray said: "I'm delighted to welcome Jonas to the club. He's got different assets to our other centre-halves.

"Jonas is comfortable on the ball, can pick a pass and also has a real winner's attitude. He's been brought in to increase competition at centre-half and I'm looking forward to working with him and helping to develop his career in the Premier League."
