West Brom have signed Watford defender Allan Nyom on a four-year contract.

The 28-year-old becomes the Baggies' fourth signing of the summer and Sky sources understand the fee to be in the region of £4m.

Nyom told West Brom's website: "I received a call from my agent last night and he told me about the offer to come here and I was happy to do so.

"Last year was my first in England. I was so happy to play in the Premier League as I think it is one of the best leagues in the world. I enjoyed it a lot.

"The Premier League is completely different to other leagues because here there is more intensity, more fight - the atmosphere in England is better than Spain.

"The team here is good and with good players, a team that plays together. I'm going to try to bring energy and to give my best every game; I want to help the team."
