West Bromwich Albion have all but completed the transfer of Scottish midfielder Scott Allan. Allan, 20, is set to become Roy Hodgson’s first signing of 2012, with the Baggies set to pay his club Dundee United a reported £350,000-£400,000 fee.
Allan is primarily a central midfielder who can also play on the wings if required. He is out of contract at Dundee United in the summer, which forced the SPL club to accept Albion’s offer for him. Only personal terms remain to be agreed.
Allan was the subject of interest of Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers as well as Newcastle United. He has been capped by Scotland at U-21 level and also had a loan spell at Forfar Athletic in 2010.
