West Bromwich Albion have signed Aston Villa’s Lewis Dobbin on loan for the season
The 21-year-old signed for Villa from Everton in a deal worth £9m back in June, while former Baggies midfielder Tim Iroegbunam headed to Goodison Park in a separate transfer.
Dobbin, who scored his first senior goal for the Blues against Chelsea in December, was a regular feature on the bench of Seasn Dyche’s matchday squads last season after impressing during pre-season.
“I’ve heard a lot about the Championship and I know it’s a tough, competitive league. I’m ready for it, though. I really want to show what I’m about.
“I like to excite the fans and get them out of their seats. I love to score goals and create goals, so hopefully I can do lots of that here this season.”
