West Brom have made their eighth summer transfer window signing by bringing in Kareem Tunde from Levante on a permanent basis. The 21-year-old winger has signed a four-year deal, and he arrives after watching Albion lose 3-2 to Newcastle in the third round of the Carabao Cup at St James's Park and meeting the squad for the first time on Thursday.
Tunde said the move appeals because it gives him a fresh challenge outside Spain. "This move is a chance for me to experience football and life in a new country and that is something that I'm really looking forward to," he said.
West Brom's summer rebuild
The signing fits the scale of Albion's summer work. Conor Townsend, Matt Ingram, Nolan Galves, Rabby Nzingoula, Felix Horn Myhre, Barney Stewart and Jimmy-Jay Morgan have already arrived, and Tunde is the eighth addition to the group.
That volume is hard to ignore, especially with West Brom still early in the campaign and looking to keep momentum after winning their first two league and cup games before the Carabao Cup exit. James Morrison's squad now has another wide option, and Tunde said the group already feels settled.
"I know the group is in a really positive place right now and everyone has been really friendly to me since I arrived," he said.
Tunde's background and immediate outlook
Tunde came through La Masia in Barcelona before breaking into first-team football with Levante, where he made 21 La Liga appearances last season as the club fought for survival. That gives Albion a young winger with top-flight minutes behind him, not just a player for the long term.
He also wants to add end product. "I want to help the team by providing assists and scoring goals, and I can't wait to get started and play in front of our fans," he said.
West Brom face Middlesbrough on Saturday, and Tunde could make his debut in that game.
