While announcing the deal on Thursday night, West Brom said in a statement that the club has confidence that the 23-year-old striker is ready to prove himself in the Premier League.
“We are confident we have signed a young player who has proved he is ready for the challenges of the Premier League,” said West Brom technical director Luke Dowling.
“He has scored goals throughout his career, including the few months he had with Huddersfield at this level two years ago.”
Grant was able to sign for West Brom even though the transfer window in the Premier League has closed since October 5, because the Premier League and English Football League (EFL) clubs agreed to keep doing business between themselves until October 16. Hence, today is the deadline date for clubs in England to seal all pending deals or forget about them until January.
