West Bromwich Albion have officially completed the signing ofTottenham winger Nacer Chadli in a deal believed to be worth £13m, one of the five new players Baggies boss Tony Pulis is hoping to bring inbefore Wednesday night's deadline.
Chadli has agreed a four-year contract that will keep him at the Hawthorns until 2020 and will wear the same number 22 shirt he occupied at Spurs, as well internationally for Belgium.

"I feel very good to be here," the 27-year-old toldWBA.co.uk.
"It came very quickly but I spoke to the Club and they have a good team, a good manager and I am very pleased to be here.My ambitions? I just want to help the team win as many games as possible."
Pulis himself added, "He's a top, top player and I'm delighted we've got him.I said last week that these signings all had to be about players who would improve our squad - and Nacer does precisely that."
Chadli scored as many as 11 Premier League goals from widefor Spurs in 2014/15 but saw his playing time decrease last season and has so far not even been named on the bench in this new campaign.
West Brom are also closing in on a record equalling £15m capture of Ignacio Camacho from Malaga, a player previously linked with Liverpool.
In terms of players leaving the club, BBC Scotland has revealed that forgotten Costa Rican full-back Cristian Gamboa, signed off the back of an impressive 2014 World Cup, is in Glasgow for a medical ahead of a move to Celtic.
There remains uncertainty over what the next few days will mean for Saido Berahino. The home-grown striker has been heavily linked with Stoke but actually appears to have left the country for a family holiday, suggesting a move might not be on the cards after all.
