Bednar joined The Baggies in the summer in a season-long loan deal from Hearts.

And the Czech international has notched 11 goals in 18 appearances during his time at The Hawthorns.

Mowbray told the Daily Express: "There is a deal in place to sign him at the end of the season."

"That will kick in after we pay Hearts some money."

He added in the Telegraph: "He has all the attributes. He can run, he's strong, brave, he puts his head into places where people don't."

"He has a humility about him that's a coach's dream. He doesn't realise the talent he has. He just keeps working and accepts any criticism and gets on with it."
