Tottenham midfielder Alex Pritchard has completed a loan move to West Brom.
The 22-year-old attacker has joined on a deal until the end of the season, after the Baggies made a late move for the Spurs academy graduate.
It is understood the paperwork was completed before the 12pm deadline for him to be available for tomorrow night's Premier League clash with Swansea City.
Pritchard had agreed to join Championship side Burnley following interest from a string of Championship clubs including Middlesbrough and Brighton.
But he said: "It's been a hectic few hours - I was close to going elsewhere - but when this came about I didn't hesitate to come here.
"I'm here and excited to get going. I spoke to Tony Pulis and coaches and was told to do my best, work hard and make an impression.
"I'm an attacking player, I like to get on the ball, make things happen and have an eye for goal.I can play on the wing or centrally - it's a dream to play in the Premier League and I hope I get that chance."
Albion have been looking for a creative midfielder with James Morrison out injured with a ruptured hamstring. The Scottish international picked up the injury at Chelsea in January and is set to be out for at least another month.
Pritchard recently recovered from a long-term ankle injury and has only played once for Spurs this season.
He returned to full training earlier this month and head coach Mauricio Pochettino has been keen to involve him in the first-team, but it has been decided he is likely to play more games at another club as he continues his return to full fitness.
