Championship - Cox agrees West Brom switch

Eurosport - Fri, 03 Jul 11:33:00 2009

West Brom head coach Roberto Di Matteo has confirmed the club have agreed personal terms with Swindon striker Simon Cox.

FOOTBALL Swindon striker Simon Cox, who is set for a move to West Brom after a bid was accepted and personal terms agreed - 0

The battle for Cox's signature has been fierce this summer with a handful of bids being rejected, while the likes of Celtic have also been linked with the 22-year-old.

But Albion won the race with an offer believed to be in the region of £2 million including add-ons after Cox initially caught the eye of former Baggies boss Tony Mowbray before his switch north of the border to Parkhead.

Cox scored 32 goals in all competitions last season and Di Matteo said: "I am aware of the deal and that we have agreed terms. The player will be coming in next week for a medical.

"He is a very good player, has a very good scoring record and I am happy for the deal to go ahead."

  2. Hey Si, I agree with you...i'd like nothing more­ than a derby with the Baggies in the Premier League in­ 2010/11. I also think there is a half reasonable chance­ that could happen.

    Cheers and have a good one.

  8. Iain - you couldn't beat us in a mascot race! Your­ logo looks lovely alongside the likes of the Posh and­ Scunny and your manager can't even pass his FA­ badges...

    Si - not too dumb to know how to spell­ 'realise' and not too irrational to grasp­ you're the ones looking up to us! Anyway, I'm­ always interested to know whats happening in the lower­ leagues...we can't afford to lose good feeder clubs­ like the the Albion.
