West Brom are closing on a deal for Benfica midfielder Filip Krovinovic.

The 23-year old is a former Croatia U21 international and is eager to link up with Albion manager Slaven Bilic.

Talks have centred around a year-long loan though the move could be made permanent.

Krovinovic is an attacking midfielder who has also had spells with NJ Zagreb and Rio Ave and hopes to conclude his move to the midlands over the next 48 hours.

Meanwhile, veteran centre-back Craig Dawson sealed his move away from the Hawthorns on Monday.

Dawson agreed a four-year deal to join Watford for an undisclosed fee.
