Karlan Grant has signed a one year loan deal with Cardiff City. The striker, 25, cost Albion £15m three years ago and is somewhat of a coup for City to capture.

He has played with Callum Robinson and Romaine Sawyers before at Albion and he was a prolific scorer in the 21/22 Championship season.

Karlan Grant:

I’m absolutely delighted. I can’t wait to meet my new teammates and the manager, and get started.

“I spoke with the manager, and he said nothing but good things about the Club. I know how big the stadium is, and I know how good the crowd can be. I’ve got a few friends here as well.

“Callum Robinson and I got on really well when we were at West Brom, and we’re actually still very close. He’s a good friend of mine and we complement each other when we play together, so hopefully we can replicate that.”

Erol Bulut:

"Karlan will bring goals, speed and work rate to this team. He works hard on the pitch, not just offensively but in defence as well.

“Now, we have a few players like Karlan who can play in different positions. He can play as a winger, but we can also use him as a striker and a second striker.

“I am very excited, and happy that we have these attacking players. All of them are good goalscorers and playmakers who can make assists. They can win games and change the table by getting results for us.”
