West Bromwich Albion sign Alex Pritchard from Tottenham Hotspur on loan

West Bromwich Albion have announced the signing of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Alex Pritchard on loan until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old is eligible to make his debut in tomorrow evening's Premier League game against Swansea City at The Hawthorns.

Pritchard, who recently returned to action from an ankle injury, was linked with Burnley, but the England Under-21 international has opted to stay in the top flight.

"It's been a hectic few hours," Pritchard told West Brom's official website. "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 (manager) 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."

Pritchard made his senior debut for Spurs in 2011.
