Cameroon ace to sign three-year deal

Skysports.com understands West Brom are closing in on the signing of Cameroon international Somen Tchoyi. Tchoyi has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time and it appears the Baggies are poised to win the race for his signature. Fulham, Blackburn and Wolves were all thought to be tracking the left-sided winger, but West Brom have jumped to the head of the queue for his signature with Tchoyi expected to ink a three-year deal with the Premier League newcomers. Red Bull Salzburg were keen to keep the 27-year-old, but with just one year left on his contract they have decided to cash in on the African. Hawthorns boss Roberto Di Matteo has been keen to bolster his squad as they prepare for life back in the top flight and sees Tchoyi as a key addition to his plans. Tchoyi is expected to arrive in England next week to tie up his move to the Midlands club and become the club's fifth new signing of the summer.
