West Brom sign Spanish winger Tunde from Levante

Kareem Tunde made 21 La Liga appearances for Levante last season [Getty Images] West Bromwich Albion have made their eighth summer transfer window signing by bringing in Spanish winger Kareem Tunde from La Liga side Levante on a permanent basis. Tunde, 21, has signed a four-year deal with James Morrison's high-flying Championship side. Albion won their first three games of the season, starting with the Carabao Cup win at Rotherham followed by Championship wins at Norwich and then at home to Burnley last Sunday, but they were defeated by Newcastle in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. In attendance at St James's Park was Tunde, who watched his new team-mates in action as they were narrowly beaten 3-2 . He met the Albion squad for the first time on Thursday. "This move is a chance for me to experience football and life in a new country and that is something that I'm really looking forward to," Tunde said. "I know the group is in a really positive place right now and everyone has been really friendly to me since I arrived. "I want to help the team by providing assists and scoring goals, and I can't wait to get started and play in front of our fans." Newcastle matchwinner Barnes so grateful to Baggies Tunde came through the famed La Masia academy in Barcelona, but he broke into first-team football with Levante; last season he made 21 La Liga appearances as the club fought their way to survival and then emerged as a substitute in their opening day defeat at Espanyol on Sunday. Tunde follows the return of Conor Townsend from Ipswich Town and the additions of goalkeeper Matt Ingram, defender Nolan Galves, midfielders Rabby Nzingoula, Felix Horn Myhre and strikers Barney Stewart and Jimmy-Jay Morgan. The Baggies face a meeting with last season's beaten play-off finalists Middlesbrough on Saturday and Tunde could make his debut. Latest West Bromwich Albion news, analysis and fan views
