Oliver Burke close to West Brom move from RB Leipzig

Oliver Burke of RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig winger Oliver Burke is set for a medical at West Brom ahead of a potential move to the Premier League side, according to Sky sources.

The 20-year-old Scottish winger left Nottingham Forest for Germany in a £13m deal last summer but slipped down the pecking order at Leipzig after impressing initially and made just five league starts.

He is now on the verge of a move to West Brom and we understand the deal could cost the Baggies up to £15m if they sign Burke on a permanent basis.

However, a loan deal is also a possibility.

Meanwhile, we understand Albion's interest in Tottenham defender Kevin Wimmer has cooled, with Baggies boss Tony Pulis apparently keen to divert his funds elsewhere.
