Albion close to Olsson deal

Saturday 30 Aug 2008

Get bang up to date with all the latest transfer rumours and tell us your own gossip right here...

West Bromwich Albion have had an £800,000 bid accepted for NEC Nijmegen's Swedish defender Jonas Olsson.

The 25-year-old, who has been with his current club for three seasons, has agreed personal terms with the Baggies and just needs to pass a medical to seal the move to England.

The deal for Olsson could cost Albion up to a further £360,000 in performance-related add-ons.

Meanwhile, Czech goalkeeper Michal Danek has left The Hawthorns to return to Viktoria Plzen after his loan spell was cancelled by mutual consent.

The 25-year-old joined Albion in January, but has failed to make a first-team impact with Tony Mowbray's side.
