New West Brom signing on why Baggies move appealed to him.

The latest West Bromwich Albion news from BirminghamLive, as Dan Mason adds another player to the squad.

West Brom have signed their second defender of the summer, with George Campbell joining from USA.

The 24-year-old joins from Major League Soccer club CF Montreal for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance, on a four-year deal.

The Baggies signed Nat Phillips from Liverpool earlier in the transfer window. Campbell is a versatile defender who can play both right-back and centre-back. He has made 16 appearances in the current MLS season and earned his first USMNT cap in January.

He said, “I’m very excited to be here. I honestly cannot wait to put on the boots and begin training. “When the opportunity to sign came, I wanted to take it and play football in Europe.

I am ready to go. “For me, the most important thing is to stay focused on the task at hand, which is to help the team win. Whatever challenges arise on the way, I’ll be prepared.” Albion sporting director Andrew Nestor added:

“We are delighted to welcome George to the club. George brings significant first-team experience despite his young age.”His progressive play, positional versatility, and physicality enhance our defensive unit, expanding our options.

“He has been in season since February and can now join our pre-season at a critical time as we ramp up to our home opener.”
