After an agreement was reached and all documents signed, Chris Mepham has been announced as the latest recruit at West Bromwich. The defender leaves Bournemouth after completing all formalities. With the deal now official, attention turns to when the new signing will debut for his new club. Unlike many transfers, this move came without rival competition, allowing West Bromwich to finalise the signing smoothly. West Bromwich's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.88 goals per game (7 in 8). Chris Mepham would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Speculation continues to connect Bournemouth with Josh Acheampong, Dango Ouattara and Dario Osorio while no fresh rumours surround West Bromwich.
